Interesting. Col 3:2「你們要思念上面的事，不要思念地上的事。」is a great echo to your quote. What is even more interesting is that "things above" are not heavenly things, but Godly things. But we must always bear in minds that our God is concern about us on earth. : )
Just read the rest of Colossians from chapter 3 onwards -- those things, things seem to us not spiritual enough -- messy human relationships, are in fact things that God has set His heart and mind on. What we think as "earthly", are in fact "heavenly" in His eyes.
