MECH I think this concept is more in allusion to naturalism because it is contrasted with Gods love lasting forever. E.g. 1 Pet 1:24

VERSES Ps 78:39 passing breeze, just flesh Ps 103:15 men like grass, field flower, wind blows it over and it's gone, no remember. But Gods love is everlasting (so... if united with God then last forever?) 1 Pet 1:24 (quoting ps 103). Love one another deeply, for you have been born of imperishable seed. Is this encouragement to build relationships because they will last forever? Ps 90:2-6 God is everlasting but he returns ppl to dust, day=1k yrs, he sees sin Is 40 "cry out" "what shall I cry?" "all ppl like grass...but word of God endures forever"

VERSES about evil people like grass Is 37:27, attackers against Jerusalem like grass James 1:10 rich man like grass

Worm
 * John Piper humans are like puny worms. Many people push back on this. I would say, instead of "we are ants but God cares", say "god make and loved us as ants and sons".
 * Narnia “You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve,” said Aslan. “And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor in earth. Be content.”
 * Imagio Dei
