Bloom Where You Are Planted!
"Believer, if your inheritance is meager, you should be satisfied with your earthly portion; for you may rest assured it is best for you. Remember this: If any other condition had been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there.
You are placed by God in the most suitable circumstances, and if you could choose your lot, you would soon cry, 'Lord, choose my heritage for me, for by my self-will I am pierced through with many sorrows.'
Be content with the things you have, since the Lord has ordered all things for your good. Take up your daily cross; it is the burden best suited for your shoulder and will prove most effective to make you perfect in every good work and word to the glory of God. Busy self and impatience must be put down; it is not for them to choose, but for the Lord of love!"
