Lovely Flowers

The drawing today was of a lotus... They are very pretty flowers. Yet, their beauty fades and they die away just like everything on earth, except for one thing....

“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 forever.”

God's word will stand forever! He spoke the earth into existence, which began time as we know it. In John it says...

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." 1:1

The the Word dwelt with us (mankind, the disciples)

"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."

Even though He walked among us, people rejected Him. Those who didn't reject Him followed Him. He taught them that living on this earth required love. The kind of love that He had for the world.... Ultimately, the people who rejected Him, killed Him. No, He didn't stay dead, He rose and is now waiting to return to this earth.... life on earth goes on and on. Flowers grow and die, people are born and die, buildings are built and fall... Life goes on.

Love helps us to traverse this cycle of life and death, unfortunately many people have stop loving "correctly". We have wars, we have terrorist, we have racial upheaval, and bullies. These things are counteractive to love, we are living in a time of hatred, not unlike times of old, yet different because it is seen in an instant through technology. We are becoming desensitized to this hatred, and many forget how to love.  It is my prayer that either we learn to love again or that the Lord will return and help the world live in peace.

I know this didn't make much sense... sorry... thanks for reading.
