Bloom where God plants you



  For behold, he who forms the mountains and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth— the LORD, the God of hosts, is his name!  Amos 4:13
  For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations.  Isaiah 61:11
  For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,   Ephesians  2:8
  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.  Ephesians 2:10
Isaiah 45:18  For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it empty, he formed it to be inhabited!): "I am the LORD, and there is no other.

Slave to Sin or ?



  And he said to his disciples, "Temptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come!
It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he
were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.  Luke 17:1-2
  Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
  But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient ...  
and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. Romans 6:16-18
