If you prefer to live in the here & now ...and don't care what happened in the past, nor care about anything tomorrow (let alone have concerns about next week, next year, the generation your children are going to be growing up in, or where they will be spending eternity); then perhaps you wouldn't be reading this far anyway. But, perhaps you know of people who do take this reckless perspective on life.

(http://pasttensepresenttensefutureperfect.blogspot.com/) ...How do we view our past? And can it affect our future?

(http://thetruthofemotions.blogspot.com/) ...God wants us to have both truth and emotions ...that way, our emotions are more useful to us!

Now, you can go to unhealthy extremes in any of these categories also.

You can dwell too much on the past ...so much so, that it paralyzes you.

Or you can dwell on the past eagerly looking at exciting falsehoods ...yes, I'm speaking of those imaginative theories of evolution.

And you can be nearly paralyze yourself for fear of the future.

Or you can look to the blessed hope and promise of things to come.

Not to forget, there are also those who opt for the Chicken Little type approach ...setting about to get everyone to panic in the moment.  It almost seems the 'Climate Change' advocates would want you to think "the sky is falling", or is it supposed to be "the sea is rising"?   If we look at Hemingway's, The Sun Also Rises, we perhaps see a more actual fear which most of us don't like to acknowledge ...of what we are becoming, or what we always seem to become.

Okay, before you get overwhelmed by me ...let me narrow it down to the past, and events that happened before the blessed Creation.  The Creation was indeed blessed, even for those who fought through the previous dread, as it was a new beginning. 

"And it was good ..." was a celebration for all that was good. 

But, let's go to the point where the conflict began.  To the angels.  And I also began to make reference to the angels in the previous 'Love' section.  My reference may not have seemed too much like love, but inclusive is also rather the antithesis of it.

Okay, perhaps I am not directly going to mention too much about the angels quite yet anyway.  Any influence that can sway us in this life has a lot to do with our motivation too ...inclusive of our attitude & our incentive, which makes it all possible for the opportunity and means to accomplish it.

Randy Alcorn, author of the book, Safely Home ...said in his magazine, eternal perspectives: "A battering ram may hit a gate a thousand times, and no one impact seems to have an effect, yet finally the gate caves in. similarly, sinful actions don't come out of nowhere ---they're the cumulative product of little moral compromises made over time ..."  Randy goes on further to say that it's equally true that good actions are the cumulative product of small, habitual choices ...and if done in honoring Jesus, those choices can make all the difference in our lives.

So, you can rally the cause for protecting the environment for future generations ...yet, missing the very fact that it will not be our environment for the future.  And those who realize the hope for (not a New World Order devised by people ...and not A Whole New World animated by Disney ...but a new world as described in the Book of Revelation) a wonderful existence with God, as He has prepared it, certainly there is an eagerness and heartfelt desire to share the knowledge of how others can also participate in that heavenly existence.
