Philippians 4:11 “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.” KJV (Let those words of Paul encourage you).
Be faithful to let God use you where you are,
For that is where he has wisely placed you.
Be faithful to grow where you are planted,
Then our Father will bless what you do.
Do you desire to be serving in a bigger work?
Perhaps you wish to lead a great crusade,
And lead thousands to accept Christ as Lord.
With great oratory their hearts you would persuade.
But our God has placed you in just the right spot.
He has a work for you, whether it be big or small.
So let God use you where it is His glorious design.
By that you will certainly be a blessing to all.

Amen.We all need to hear this. God bless you.
I went through changes and who likes change? We are not human if we do. But guess what I am better now and I feel at peace with God at the head of my life. I know He is in control.
"God has placed you in just the right spot."...Encouraging words, Thomas. Being a care-giver, as I am, there isn't much time to do much else, but "care-give", but knowing that God has placed me there, and has given me good health, so that I can meet the needs of my loved-ones, gives me encouragement...Thanks...Helen
Sometimes this is a hard thing for people to do. There are times when we may become over zealous in what we are given to do and forget who the glory goes to. I have been guilty of this myself.My Lord never fails to bring it to my attention when I lean to my flesh and look to the world for praise.I had rather do a small thing for Jesus than try and do something huge and fail because it was my doing not His. Oh yes, I want to touch the world for Him, but if each one does his or her part, the whole world can be touched.Thank you Thomas for this piece.
