Bloom where you are planted!

WAYSIDE FLOWERS 

 

                In their fresh and natural beauty 

           wildflowers abound,

    Plants springing up with vigor in 

uncultivated ground.

   On rough parched places full of stones, 

they thrive!

      In ditches dark beneath the trees, 

     still they survive!

       Through paving cracks on city ways 

      wildflowers spring,

      To cliffs and rocky mountain face

     they tightly cling!

       God makes each one bloom brightly

     in the appointed place

       We too may blossom where we are

       just by His grace!

      Take courage therefore Christian 

  if your lot

   Is service in a hard, rough, dark

    and lonely spot.

 Wildflowers in harsh conditions flourish,

 so can you,

      God will enable you to grow and 

       PROSPER TOO!

Perhaps we may feel that we bloom alone where nobody sees or takes any notice of us, but have you thought that our Wonderful Creator God will have plants bloom on the top of mountains, in deserts and rocky crags, in forests where nobody sees them but His eye is upon them!

What a joy to be able by grace to bloom for HIM, if pleasing our dear Lord is our true delight, we are surely truly blessed indeed.

So soon will come the day when we time will give place to eternity, and those who know and love Him shall "awake with His likeness" and be truly and eternally satisfied.

"As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness"   Psalm 17:15
