Beauty of Nature

The green grass and shades of tree… scented and colorful flowers… chirping birds. Ah… could you imagine how beautiful life is? All the beautiful and natural scenic that are around us make us feel that life is good. Tall mountains, clear and rushing waters, happy animals… how did they come to be?

As I read the first book of the bible, Genesis, I have come to realize how powerful and creative God was. He was able to prove that He can do everything with just a command or even one snap of His finger. Truly, He was the Supreme Being in the entire universe. I have also read that He created man out of love and to make him the steward of all His creations. God provided him another partner, which He named Eve because He thought man can’t live alone.

There was a tree at the middle of the garden that God had forbidden Adam and Eve to eat from its fruits. Although He had given them everything, they needed and wanted, they still refused to obey God. The serpent who forced them to eat from its fruit tempted them. The snake told them that if they will eat from the forbidden tree, they would be as powerful as God would. Because of greediness and selfishness, they were tempted to eat the fruit.

God was so angry with Adam and Eve that they were forced to leave the Garden of Eden. However, because God loved them so much, He did not punish them nor harm the two.

Just come to think of that! Without God’s love, we will all die and be punished by our sinful acts. The people are wasting even the natural resources that made God discouraged. Remember if we destroy His’ creations, we are like wasting the effort of God and disrespecting His’ name.

Before, nature’s beauty is still very alive and clean. Nevertheless, because of the rapid development of industries and technology, the beauty of nature is depleted. Factories, smoke belching, wastes in bodies of water and many other things make the world turn chaotic. How we wish we could turn back the time where the environment is still free from pollution.

Some people say that God is starting to ask the payment from all the people’s wrong deeds. Landslides, drought, global warming, strong typhoons are some of the signs wherein our planet is near to its end, as what other people mention. Many lives and properties are being destroyed and devastated even small and innocent children are being harmed.

Last 2005, there were some rumors, which I heard among my classmates that by the end of the year, all of us must be prepared for the second coming of Jesus. I was alarmed that is why I always pray at night. They told me that the world will be divided into two and those who will fall down are sinners while the good will fly up to heaven. They also informed me that there will be balls of fire and great catastrophic phenomena will occur at the time of judgment. Living and dead people will rise and together God will judge them.

I really don’t have any idea on when will be the ending of the world. For me, we must all prepare for His second coming.

So, are your eyes now open to face the reality and truth that God is mad at us right now? Try to wake up and begin the total transformation of our planet. Start revising the world. Bring back the beauty of nature. Act now because the world begins in you!
