All men are like grass

Who Am I?

This morning (and I am tearing up again) I was listening to this song by Casting crowns.

He sang:

“Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth Would care to know my name Would care to feel my hurt Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star Would choose to light the way For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am

But because of what You've done

Not because of what I've done

But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading

Here today and gone tomorrow

A wave tossed in the ocean

Vapor in the wind

Still You hear me when I'm calling

Lord, You catch me when I'm falling

And You've told me who I am

I am Yours, I am”

I thought of the words and I actually remembered the first time I became aware of the verse For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall…” (1 Peter 1:24). All men are like grass, we wither and we die But God...

I felt like a stamp of ownership was upon me, so even in this mortality I belong to the one who created this earth.  I of course just started to cry.  I belong to God.  Not my because of what I have done or who I am, but because of what He has done and who He is.  I belong to God.

Enjoy the time with your family...for all men are like grass and they will fade away in this fragile life they have been given.  Their frames will not last forever, but their souls will in Jesus Christ.
