"You were bought with a price, purchased with a preciousness
and paid for by Christ; then do not yield yourselves up to become in
your own estimation, slaves to men, but consider yourselves slaves to Christ.
So, brethren, whatever station or state or condition of life each one was
when he was called, there let him continue with and close to God."
(I Corinthians 7:23-24)
"Bloom where you are planted."
-Frances de Sales
English painter
God make my life a little light,
Within the world to glow;
A tiny flame that burneth bright,
Wherever I may go.
God make my life a little flower,
That giveth joy to all,
Content to bloom in native bower,
Although its place be small.
Wherever I may go,
Wherever I may go,
God make my life a little light,
Wherever I may go.
God make my life a little song
That comforteth the sad;
That helpth others to be strong,
And makes the singer glad.
God make my life a little staff
Whereon the weak may rest,
That so what health and strength I have
May serve my neighbors best.
God make my life a little hymn
Of tenderness and praise;
Of faith-that never waxeth dim.
In all His wondrous ways.
Wherever I may go,
Wherever I may go,
God make my life a little light,
Wherever I may go.
"God Make My Life A Little Light"
