We learn about our current situation always through the lens of God’s perspective. Sometimes when we learn about damage done to Creation, and the predictions of further damage, we become afraid, angry, and may feel helpless or despairing. These are natural and normal reactions. God calls us to see what can be seen with our physical senses AND ALSO to see with our spirits the reality of what cannot be seen – that Creation is self-healing and harmonizing and when we get in agreement with God’s plan for Creation and focus on his dominant, healing power, inspired thoughts and solutions will come.
