Bloom Where You are Planted
Sometimes it feels like we are in a very hard place in our life. Living is hard, our circumstances are challenging and some relationships difficult or painful. None of us will escape seasons of life that are hard. It is so easy to wish we were somewhere else.......anywhere but here God!
Although we may not see a reason or a purpose while we go through those times of pain and hardship, God remains at our side. He has not abandoned us. He has a higher purpose, a different perspective, and the resources to get us through. He has the ability to create beauty from ugliness, life out of death, joy from the ashes of mourning. He looks at our life from the perspective of eternity, He sees our beginning from the end. He alone can turn our impossiblities into possibilities, and He does so in ways beyond our imagination.
So hang in there, turn your face to the Son and bloom where He has planted you. In time you will see the seeds of your life that have appeared to have died, grow shoots of new life and the promise of coming spring.

Yup - that's all we can do sometimes. At least we know Who we can turn to if it gets too rough...
Wow. Thanks I needed to read that today.
