We are here in the mud and junk that this life brings. Those things in our life that can bring us down. The things in our life that make us worry...make us cry out to God. It could be health. Or a job situation. Or maybe a stack of bills that just keep coming. Maybe it is just one thing after another. Little things that on their own wouldn't hurt you, but again...and again... and again...you just get tired of fighting. Too tired to go on.
Our situations will never be perfect while we are here in this world. There is pain and suffering, even for the believer. But ~ even now ~ God wants us to bloom where we are planted. To look up towards the sun/Son, our Savior, and let our roots grow in faith through the trials. Not just grow and make it through, but to bloom...to prosper.
Right were your at ~ that is where you are supposed to be. In Psalm 37:23, it reminds us that our steps are ordered by the Lord. He knows where you've been, where you are, and where you need to go. So, take a look around. This is where your supposed to be. Find joy and laughter. Find and make moments that you can treasure later. Look and seek for the reason God has placed you there. Is there someone that needs what you can give? We all have gifts that God has given us. We just need to take a moment and not only find those people ~ but to take the time and share what we can. Maybe our gifts and our time can help another bloom.
"...for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.
I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and
every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and
hunger, abundance, and need. I can do all things through Him that
strengthens me." ~ Phillippians 4:11-13
