Bloom Where You are Planted
By Chaplain Mark Eggleston
Spring is such a beautiful time of year! Everything is coming back to life after a long Iowa winter and God’s marvelous creation is blooming all around us.
As believers, maybe we have slowed down a bit during the winter season and God is now nudging us to step into the sunshine of his grace and “bloom where He plants us.” Did you know that you are a special creation of God and He wants to use you to showcase His love and grace to others through your good works? That’s exactly what we read in Ephesians:
“For we are God’s masterpiece, He created us new in Christ, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.”
God designed us to be alive and at work, carrying out His good plan for our lives. As we feel the warmth of spring’s sunshine, let’s bloom where God plants us and help His kingdom grow!
