Bloom where you don't want to be planted

Life can plant you in some hard and unfriendly places, but you can still grow and create joy from the inner and outer beauty that God creates, regardless of your circumstances…

A little pansy seed—no bigger than a grain of sand—found a resting place between two hard bricks. Hidden within that tiny seed was an even smaller germ, carrying everything it needed to do what it was created to do.

It sprouted and grew and blossomed.

And with its blossoming, it brought delight to so many. 

Sometimes that is all we can do. To be still, abide, trust the purpose and the process, letting God create the rest.  

John 15:4 Jesus said, “Abide in Me for apart from Me you can do nothing.”   

Abide defined is: Bear, stand, endure, tolerate, remain. It might be used along with this picture I took at my home.

Grow where you don't want to be planted.

Or maybe… 

 Abide where you don't want to be abiding.

Tough stuff for sure
