Fellow Labourers-
We have heard it over and over that "You are so heavenly minded, that you are no earthly good." But the converse of this statement also rings true. However, we sometimes use the phrase very whimsically and dismissively in order to cover up our own spiritual lack or spiritual superiority. But, let us take a very calm and calculated look at the article attached. Because, how we view the earth may very well determine how we treat it, and live in it. Perpective, perspective, perspective. Having the right perspective is an essential ingredient in our relationship with mother earth. When God made it he said it was good. Has it lost its goodness?
When the Psalmist said it is good and pleasant for brethren to dwell together in unity, he was talking about here on earth. If we can't get it together on earth, we are in big trouble. For thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. That's why forgiveness is so important. He looked beyond our faults and saw our need. Forgiveness, however, must not be confused with tolerance, because if we can tolerate it we won't correct it. Forgiveness does mean that I will not condone, but I will give you another chance to make amends. Let us strive to make earth look like heaven.
Pax Vobiscum
Robert Stewart
