We live day by day so comfortably, doing our own things not knowing that we are polluting the air and killing the Earth. You realise in the early years man did not worry about this problem until only recently when they found out that global warming is becoming worst and if it's not made aware to the people the earth is going to die.
I read this scripture in Mark 8:34-38 and it kind of portray the same thought
We live day by day so comfortably with our lives doing our own things. Working so hard and getting everything that we want. Not knowing that we are losing our soul as the days go by. That you begin to see that we will not worry about this problem until when the time is almost up, when we are on our deathbed. For global warming it may seem irredeemable but still people are trying their best to reduce it. For our souls, you realise it's never too late to save it, but why wait till old age to realise this. Why not start now?

Mark 8:18-21
"Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
"When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?" They say to Him, "Twelve"
"Also, when i broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?" And they said, "Seven"
So He said to them, "How is it you do not understand?"
Having eyes do you not see the miracles that God has done around you? Having ears do you not hear the testimonies around you? Having a mind, do you not remember what the Lord has done for you? When you are in difficulty always remember what God has done for you in the past. Know that what He has done for you in the past He is able to do the same today, because He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
The question ultimately lies in whether you believe that God is a good God. If you do then how is it that you do not understand? How is it that you do not understand that God can provide you with a miracle? If you believe that God is good, even when you start to doubt, fight against it, tell yourself I DO UNDERSTAND. I DO UNDERSTAND that my God is a good God and He has a great plan for me, a plan that will be implemented at the right timing, not too late nor too early but just in time.

wow.... every week just feels like there are more and more things to do haha.
not that its bad or anything, its good.
I am quite excited, but quite afraid at the same time.
Am i ready? Yes i am.
So many lives in your hands.
You better not fool around too much anymore.
There are still so many things to be done.
There is a time and season for everything.
And i am afraid some of my seasons are longer than required. HA.
Need to allocate properly. or else you will never get anywhere.

Have you ever wonder?
Have you ever wonder why? When you were a little kid, when you ask your parents for certain things and they don't give it to you? When you begin to cry and you don't understand why your parents are not buying that toy, you really really really like? or when your parents begin to filter all the toys that are safe and keep those toys that might injure you?
At that point of time, at your age, because of your lack of knowledge, you were unable to understand why. But your parents understood why because they have a bigger perspective, with their experience and knowledge they understood. Some things that we think are good for us arent actually good for us. We do not have the bigger perspective of what's going to happen. But our parents do and they know whats best for us. Sometimes we might not understand why but in the future when you look back, you will begin to see that it happened for a reason.
Its the same for God. Luke 11:9-13
