Look out upon the world where you were formed from. See its beauty. Feel the ebb and flow of the wind that brushes against it. Sense its wonder
Listen to its quiet pulse that resounds on such a grand scale. Consider the enormity. See the waves of clouds that crash and flow up in the sky
Take a deep breath. Smell the sharp freshness of the air. Understand the miracle of Earths existence
Listen to the sounds of the wind in the trees, the sounds of life all around.
We were created by God and formed from the earth, designed by God, and set forth into this world; To be shaped by it, molded in small increments to what we are today. They are actively shaping us each moment. Creating then fine tuning us over millions of years
We do not live separately from the earth or from our God. Each has designed, shaped, and sustained us here, to live, and to live well
God is our treasure, for through His great love, he made us. He cares for us beyond our simple understanding and desires for us to walk this earth beside Him, in wisdom, Spirit, and communion
We do not exist apart from this Earth. It fully supports every aspect of our life
The earth is a creation every bit as great as we are and we are part of its unique expression
To feel apart from our world is to live estranged and to take for granted, this beautiful planet, an act of selfishness that leaves us shallow, and naive
We have come to a place in our short history where we have begun to reshape this world that made us
We are creating a place of our own design, of our own failing, driven by our greed, excess, and lack of reverence. It is damaging our world
We do not live separately from our earth, or our God. The earth was made for us, because we were made from it
All of life is sustained from the balance of forces that exists here. Our success as a species depends upon the health of all life and this depends upon our planet remaining a healthy place
What we are doing is a sin of great magnitude
Wake up, reconnect with the wonder and beauty of this world. Seek God, and understand the gravity of this danger 12/23/2019
