Scripture and a Snapshot - Like a Flower



As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
But from everlasting to everlasting
the LORD's love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children's children -
with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.

~Psalm 103:13-18~

During this past week, we had the privilege of seeing some incredibly beautiful gardens and conservatories. Gorgeous plants and flowers in breathtaking landscape and garden settings. This Scripture reminds me that all that stunning beauty is really just temporary. Although we may mark some of these buildings as historic treasures, they will eventually crumble. Although we may honor the memories and achievements of those who built these gardens, created artwork, or designed and financed these beautiful spaces, these things will all fade over time.

And God knows it, and he loves us anyway, and offers us the eternal. He will keep his promises forever, and his love is everlasting.

  2. As a gardener these words are really brought home to me. We are here as sojourners and spreading love like seeds is the only thing that really matters.
