Amy Carmichael was an inspirational
lady. She served the Lord faithfully for over 50 years in the Country of India.
There is an interesting story about her childhood that I think we can all learn
a lesson from. When Amy was a small child she prayed that the Lord would change
her eye color from brown to blue because she thought her eyes were ugly and boring
and blue eyes were so pretty. The Lord obviously never answered that request and
later in her adult life those brown eyes helped her to “Fit in” with those on
her Mission Field. The Lord always knows what’s best and He has a plan for your
life!
From time to time we can allow discontentment
to creep into our lives and we can begin to question God as to what He is doing
or why He is doing a certain thing in our lives. We can even get to the point
where we begin to doubt or question God. Remember Isaiah 55:8&9 tells
us that God’s thoughts and ways are much higher than ours. He sees your life in
a much larger context that you ever will.
My encouragement to you is to “Bloom
Where You Are Planted”. We are all like flowers in God’s garden. He plants us
when and where He wants us. Could you imagine your flowers refusing to grow
simply because they didn't like where you planted them. That would be silly. Don’t
waste time questioning God and trying to figure out how to change the
circumstances in life. Just get busy serving the Lord and put your roots down
into the Word of God and He will take care of the rest. Whatever the situation
may be that you are facing or going through in Life, remember we serve a
faithful and loving God who has promised to never leave us or forsake us (Matt.
28:20). If you will be faithful to Him, He will be faithful to you!
