All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.
The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; surely the people are grass.
The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of our God stands firm and forever.
Isaiah 40:6-8
Flowers are so vibrant, vivid, brilliant, light hearted and bring a peaceful pleasure to the eyes that gaze upon them.
There are a multitude of colors, shapes, sizes and fragrances.
They bloom where they are planted and will flourish with the proper maintenance.
People are similar to plants.
We too are beautiful.
We come in all shapes, colors and sizes and all have different fragrances.
We too can flourish where we are planted if we are loved and maintained.
But just like grass and flowers, we too will fade and pass away. Outward beauty is pleasing to the eye, but ones inner beauty is what will remain in the hearts and minds of others who know us.Planting and cultivating the qualities of gentleness, generosity and grace will radiate an aroma that will capture others attention.
God's word will never fade away. He will never lose His luster. As we live and move and have our being in Him, we will always be flourishing and growing in this life and in eternity.
Jesus Christ and His Word are the same yesterday, today and forever. Psalm 102:27,
