Valladolid

Recently I visited a old Spanish town in Mexico. The town square was very charming and filled with rustic park benches, trees and vendors selling their wares. Across the street from the square was a beautiful old church that was built in 1545.

The tour guide pointed out a tree that was growing at the top of one of the bell towers. That tree began with a small seed that was planted not by human hands, but by a bird that had dropped the seed years before in that exact spot.

If the tree had grown in the park across the street like all the other trees it would have blended in and been overlooked. But because it grew in it’s own location, where it had been Divinely planted, it stood out and was noticed.

We are in this exact place and time for a Divine purpose. God’s intention is not for us to blend in but for us to stand out for Him.

Grow where God plants you and trust that His purpose in your placement has Divine intention.
