Isaiah 40:31 But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Hebrews 11:16: Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

Matthew 5:48: Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Every day, we praise things that seem perfect to us.
