Bloom where you are planted
There's the saying " Bloom where you are planted." In other words make the best of what is given to you. This saying sort of reminds me of Luke 8, when Christ is explaining about the farmer planting seed. He scattered it across his field and some fell on a foot path, some on shallow soil with rocks, others fell in thorny areas and some fell on fertile ground. The only ones that survived were the ones on fertile ground. The others only bloomed for a little while and then died away, never to grow again. The ones on fertile ground produced crop a hundred times as much as had been planted. So what would the saying mean Bloom where you are planted? It means you have been given the truth from God's word, now use it, learn it, live it, so your roots will grow deep and no matter what comes your way, wind, rain, dryness, cold, sun, and any other elements you can think of, your roots will be grounded and not be moved...Don't be like the seeds that scattered around and didn't root. Don't be misled by others, don't let satan entice you with things of this world. Grow deep in God so others can see Jesus in you!
