A Bright Yellow Spot on a Dreary Day

In a large field next to our church, I spotted this daffodil. 
The saying I've heard so many times popped in my head.

"Bloom where you are planted."

This lovely drop of yellow amidst the snow covered winter grass 
filled my heart with joy.
It bloomed in the midst of a field with no other flowers.

God places me in situations sometimes where I'm uncomfortable, 
but I've learned to ask Him to help me grow and serve in that exact spot.

Are you in an uncomfortable place? Seek His help and bloom!
