    Life circumstances may not be ideal where we are. We may be struggling. Perhaps we feel that we could serve the Lord more effectively in a better situation or different location. But God wants us to bloom where we are planted!

    James Oppenheim said, “The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet,”(1) and this is what the Lord wants every believer to understand. We’re supposed to find fulfillment and contentment right where God’s placed us, and to bloom where we’re planted. An ...read more

    If you want someone else's life rather than your own, you are accusing God of injustice, and failing to see the work he has prepared for you and equipped you for.
