Surely we were like grass...


We sing many beautiful "New Songs" (Revelation 14:3) in Zion. One of my favorites is "Blossoms of Life."

"All men are like grass of the fields;
they fade like nameless flowers.
Flowers fall and grass withers. Poor mortal men!
Heavenly Mother's come to us..."

The grass and the flowers, although green and beautiful at one time, will all die. According to the Bible, so is our life on this earth.


1 Peter 1:24
"'All men are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord stands forever.'
And this was the word that was preached to you." (ref: Isaiah 40:6-8)

That is why I cannot live for the perishable, but rather the imperishable. Beauty, wealth, the worldly desires/relationships will fade and be broken, but the Word of God will never be broken--it will endure to eternal life. (Micah 4:2).
