And I like to start with something 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.640 funny each week, and I heard about this pastor and 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.960 song leader that weren't getting along, and begin to spill 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.600 over into the services. And one Sunday the pastor spoke 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:28.280 on being willing to change. Afterwards, the song leader got 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.799 up and led the song I shall not be moved. 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:33.600 The next week he spoke on being. 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.680 A giver, and the song leader got up and led, 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.160 Jesus paid it all. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:39.760 The next week, the pastor. 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.800 Talked about how we have to watch our tongues and 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:42.720 not gossiping. 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.920 The song leader got up and led, I love to 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:47.200 tell the story. 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.359 The pastor got so frustrated he finally resigned. He said, 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.280 Jesus brought me here, and Jesus has taken me away. 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.160 The song leader then led, what a friend we have 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:02.440 in Jesus. Hold up your bibles, say it like you 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.440 mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.920 says I am. I have what it says I have. 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.040 I can do what it says I can do. Today 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.560 I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.480 My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.240 never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.200 I want to talk to you today about blooming where 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:26.880 you're planet. 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.600 Too many people are living negative and discouraged because they 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:32.799 don't like where they are. 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.080 They don't like their job. The people are hard to 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.160 get along with. They don't like where they live. That's 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:40.080 not where they want to be. 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.600 When they get stuck in traffic, they get all upset. 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.640 If they have to work late, that just sours their day. 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:51.400 There's always something they're fighting against, trying to get somewhere else. 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.240 But I've learned God is more. 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:57.440 Interested in changing me than he is in changing my 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:02.040 circumstances as long as I'm because I'm not getting my way, 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.640 discouraged because I'm single and I want to be married, 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.080 and upset. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.280 Because the business isn't growing. 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.680 That's going to keep me right where I am. If 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.080 you want to see change, if you want to see 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.160 God open up new doors, the key is you have 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:21.440 to bloom right where you're planted. You cannot wait till 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.760 everything gets better before you decide to have a good attitude. 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.479 You have to be the best that you can be 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.760 right where you are. Put a smile on your face. 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.760 Be good to people even if they're not being good 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:37.000 to you. Be grateful for where you live, even if 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.919 it's not where you want to be. When you bloom 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.080 where you're planted, you're so in a seed for God 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.080 to do something new. The scripture says here in Psalm 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:50.000 thirty seven, the steps of a good person are ordered 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.880 by the Lord. That means, as long as we're in faith, 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.000 where we are is where we're supposed to be. Well, 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.479 you said, Joel, that couldn't be right comfortable. I'm not 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.280 in a good place. Somebody's not treating me right. No, 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.560 it may be difficult, but God will not allow a 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.560 challenge to come into our life unless he has a 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.919 divine purpose for it. Now, I found nothing in life 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.840 happens to us, It happens for us. If we'll keep 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.479 the right attitude, God will always use it for our good. 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.560 That person is hard to get along with, he's not 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:29.719 happening to you, He's happening for you. God's using him 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.279 to grow you up. You're developing character. You're learning to 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.719 be good to people that are not being good to you. 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:40.640 And God uses difficult people like sandpaper to rub the 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:41.800 rough edges off of us. 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:43.840 The next time you see him. 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.160 Instead of getting upset and all stressed, out, just smile 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.000 real big and say thank you so much for everything 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.560 you have done for me. Then you may have to 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:56.240 help pick him up off the ground. But some of 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.120 the things that are uncomfortable in your life right now 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.520 and you're trying to get get rid of, if God 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.800 removed them, you would not be prepared for what He 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.839 has in store when things come our way that we 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:12.120 don't like. Instead of being negative and complaining, our attitude 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.600 should be God. I may not like this, but I 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.839 know I'm here in your divine plan and you would 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.720 not have allowed it unless you were going to get 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.320 good out of it. It may not feel good, but 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.120 I know it's helping me to grow and become all 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:27.320 that you've created me to be. 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.400 But so often we're fighting against everything that doesn't go 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:31.880 our way. 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.320 In we're always trying to get somewhere else to be happy. 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.680 If I could just get out of this small. 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.160 House, if I could just get a better job or 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.720 at least change departments, if I could just find some 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.120 new friends, now, that's going to keep. 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:45.680 Us where we are. 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.279 A better approach is this is where God has me 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.960 right now, and until he moves me, I'm going to 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:53.480 be happy. 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:55.000 In other words. 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.599 If I get stuck in traffic, this is not where 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.680 I want to be, but this is where God has me, 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.080 so I'm will relax and stay in peace. If I 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.919 have to work late, I'm not gonna get discouraged. This 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.560 is where God has me, so I'm gonna be happy 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:12.040 and enjoy it. If somebody is not treating me right, 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:16.640 I'm not gonna let that sour my day, instill my joy. 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.160 This is where God has. 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.120 Me for this season, so I'm going to rise above 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.840 it and be happy anyway. That's what it means to 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:29.160 bloom where you're planning. Wherever you are, you know God 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.200 has you there for a reason, so you don't go 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:36.040 up and down depending on your circumstances or depending on 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:37.080 how somebody. 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:37.640 Is treating you. 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:41.760 You're stable, you're consistent, You've always got a smile, You're 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.880 always in a good mood, You're always friendly. 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:46.360 That's the sign of a mature person. 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.600 And what I love about this is it takes away 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:54.080 our excuses and puts the responsibility to be happy and 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.120 enjoy our life right back on us. 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:57.080 Now. 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.320 I know too many people that don't like their job. 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.920 They read going to work, they dread driving into traffic, 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:06.120 they dread dealing with the people. They live by that motto, 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:10.800 take this job and shove it. But really, what a 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.600 shame to be somewhere forty hours a week and not 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.560 enjoy it. Friends, Life is too short to live that way. 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.280 You may not have the perfect job, the perfect boss, 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.200 the perfect conditions, but make up your mind. 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:25.920 You're gonna bloom right where you are. 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:28.720 And you say, Joe, you don't know these people I 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.920 work with. You don't know how miserable it is. No, 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:35.720 the scripture says God has given us the power to 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:39.840 enjoy our work. Quit telling yourself I can't be happy here. 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.280 I don't like my job, I don't like the people. 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.400 I can't wait till God opens up something new. No, 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:49.560 you're making yourself miserable. Start telling yourself, I have the 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.880 power to enjoy this job. I'm gonna have a great day. 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.040 I'm gonna enjoy the people. I'm gonna be productive. I'm 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.800 gonna bloom right here where God has me planning. 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:00.640 Got to having that. 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.839 Motto take this job and shove it, or a motto 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.480 should be I'm gonna take this job and love it. 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:10.880 Nothing is gonna keep me from enjoying my life. I 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.400 found sometimes the reason we're not happy on the job 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.680 is we're not getting our way. We're being asked to 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.280 do things that we don't want to do. Maybe we 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.480 feel like we're more qualified, or that's not exciting enough. 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:27.719 But this is important. The person that's paying us. They 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:31.360 may like things done a certain way. We may not agree. 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.079 We may think we can do it better another way. 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.760 But since they are signing the check, they have the 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.240 right to have it done the way they want. And 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.000 we've got to be big enough to submit to the 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.720 authority and do what we're asked with a good attitude, 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:51.480 without always questioning it, without walking away mumbling under our breath. 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:52.959 They just don't know what they're talking about. 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.120 When I work for my father here at the Ministry 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.600 for seventeen years, I was in charge of the television production. 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:01.160 We'd do these big. 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:05.679 Television specials, big concerts, and all kinds of exciting things. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.880 But toward the end of my father's life, he didn't 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:10.360 want to do that anymore. 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.679 One time, I got all these radio stations lined up 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.320 to carry my father's broadcast, and I had worked real hard. 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.640 It was a big deal, and I asked my dad 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.080 to come down for an hour a week, and we 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.360 could make the openings and the closings. But he said, Joel, 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:29.200 I don't want to do that. I'm seventy five years old. 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.120 I just want to relax and pasture the church. I 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:37.000 was so disappointed. I thought, God, I'm young. I don't 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.120 want to do less. I've got big dreams. I want 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.120 to do more. And I thought, maybe it's time. 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:42.680 For me to leave. 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.320 Maybe it's time for me to pursue some other opportunities. 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.160 But down in here, when I searched my own heart, 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.600 I knew I was supposed to stay right here with 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.920 my father. I remember right where I was when I 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:59.200 made the decision that this is my father's vision. He's 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.000 been here for forty years, he founded the place. He 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.440 has a right to do what he wants. And so 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.680 I'm not gonna get sour and lose my joy and 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.360 pack up and leave just because I'm not getting my way. 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.280 I just kept being my best day in and day out. 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.360 Two years later, my father went to be with the Lord. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.080 I realize now God put those dreams in my heart 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.880 for my own ministry. It just wasn't the right time. 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.959 But had I not been faithful where I was. Had 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:30.480 I not honored and submitted to that authority and did 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:33.040 the right thing even though I didn't feel like it, 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.600 I don't believe I would be standing here today. 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.360 When you pass that test. 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:42.120 Of glooming, where you're planning and keeping a good attitude 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.559 even when you don't feel like it, and not getting 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.680 upset when you don't get your way, and honoring the 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.360 authority even when you don't agree, then you are sowing 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.839 a seed for God to take you where he wants 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.760 to go. Well, you say, Joe, my boss is hard 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.960 to get along with. These coworkers get on my nerve. 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.800 They're negative, they complain, I've been praying for three years 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:05.120 for God to give me another job. 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.640 I don't know what's taken so long. Now. 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.319 Have you ever thought about the fact that God may 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:11.400 have you there. 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.280 On purpose so you can be a good example to them. 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.000 God may want you to let your light shine to 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.920 brighten their days, to make a difference where you are. 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.880 Why don't you have a different perspective? Or maybe if 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.080 you would pass that test and bloom where you're planted, 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:28.559 then God would open. 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:29.280 Up some new doors. 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.920 But as long as we're negative and complaining, nothing's going 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.880 to change. We're not in position for God to promote 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.520 us if we're not being the best that we can 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:43.160 be right where we are. When we're in an uncomfortable 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.920 situation where it's difficult or not fair, we have to 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:50.800 realize God is either doing a work in us or 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.520 he's using us to do a work in someone else. 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.400 But there is a purpose for it, and there's nothing 0:12:56.440 --> 0:13:00.760 wrong with asking God to change a situation, but it happens. 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.600 You have to have the trust that where you are 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:05.240 is where you're supposed to be. 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:06.280 Now. 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.400 I know some of you work around people, or even 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.959 live with people that are hard to get along with. 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.760 They get on your nerves, they do things to aggravate you. 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.760 But you've got to make up your mind. You are 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.719 not going to live your life miserable. You are not 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.959 going to dread going to work because there's somebody there that. 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:24.480 You don't like. 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.280 You're not going to dread being at home because somebody 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:28.000 irritates you. 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:32.040 Friends. You are an egle, you can rise above that. 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.280 A crow will always get in there and fight and 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.560 try to prove that he's right. A chicken is always 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.760 flapping and working, but he never even gets off the ground, 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.320 never makes any progress. A turkey makes a lot of noise, 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:46.920 but he always ends up on. 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.200 The dinner table. You are not a crow, you are 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.160 not a chicken. You're not a turkey. You are an egle. 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:54.240 And when an. 0:13:54.120 --> 0:14:00.160 Egle faces adversity, when an egle has something pestering him, 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:04.199 he simply spreads out his wings and catches the thermal 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:07.960 winds that enable him to rise higher and higher and 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.720 fly where no other birds can come. What am I saying? 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.840 Quit allowing things to pester you and start rising higher. 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.320 Don't sink down to somebody's level and argue with them, 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.240 try to prove that you're right. Listen, you don't have 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.320 to prove who you are. You know who you are, 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.400 a child of the most High God. Some of you 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:32.640 are allowing somebody to steal your joy. You've already decided 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.720 that you can't be happy until they're gone, or you 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.680 can't be happy until they change. But I believe God 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.840 is saying it's time for you to change. It's time 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.280 to draw that line in the sand and say, I'm 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:48.160 not going to live my life negative, discouraged, waiting for 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.120 something to change before I decide to be happy. No, 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.360 I realize now where I am is where I'm supposed 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.120 to be, so I'm going to be happy in spite 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.760 of how somebody is or is not treating me. 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.440 Now, I found that sometimes. 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.240 God will have us go through a difficult season in 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.600 order to help somebody else. We have to sow a 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:13.480 seede and be uncomfortable, treat it unfairly. We have to 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:17.880 be extremely patient and kind and overlook things just so 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:21.800 another person can become what God has created and to be. 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.440 When you say, Joel, I don't want to do that. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.400 I don't want to be uncomfortable. I don't want to 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.800 have to be an ego all the time. I like 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.040 having my way. I like everybody being nice to me. 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.600 I like proving my point. Can I say this respectfully? 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:40.200 It's not all about us. It's about advancing the kingdom. 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.840 It's about helping others to rise higher. 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:46.880 God uses people. 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:50.720 And sometimes we just have to suffer in silence. In 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.320 other words, you have to do the right thing and 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:57.320 not complain even though you know it's not fair. You 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:01.120 have to swallow your pride and overlook an inn. You 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.680 have to bite your tongue when you feel like telling 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:04.400 somebody off. 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:06.640 You have to keep a smile. 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.800 And stay encouraged when you really feel like being down 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:13.920 and defeated. We have to be willing to be uncomfortable 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:17.040 through a season so somebody else in. 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.120 Our life can change. 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.360 I have a friend that this lady had a lot 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.320 of unfair things happened to her when she was growing up, 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.480 and her first marriage didn't last, and she got married 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:32.040 a second time, and she made her husband's life miserable. 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:35.080 She wasn't trying to, but she'd just been through. 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:38.320 So much, so hurt, and so messed up. She couldn't 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:42.520 trust anybody. She was very negative, critical, hard to get 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:47.920 along with. This husband told how a thousand times. 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:50.400 He wanted to leave her. He had every right to 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:51.080 walk away. 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:55.080 Nobody would have blamed him, but down deep, he knew 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.360 he was supposed to stay. It was the most difficult 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.600 thing he had ever done. Month after month, even year 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.879 after year, he was uncomfortable. It wasn't fair, but he 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:07.600 just kept blooming where. 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:08.120 He was planted. 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:13.680 He just kept being his best, kind, forgiving, patient, overlooking things. 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.440 It seemed like it was all giving and no receiving, 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:19.800 all sewing and no reaping. 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:23.800 But today it's a different story. He paid the price. 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.480 He's stuck with her, and now thirty five years later, 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:32.400 he's reaping great rewards. That lady, his wife is joy smiring. 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:35.719 She's not only healthy and whole, but they have a 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:37.919 ministry touching people around the world. 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.840 Both she and her husband Dave are incredible people, good 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:43.639 friends of ours. 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.880 But Joyce said later, what if Dave would have been 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:50.120 like my first husband and taken the easy way out. 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.840 What if he had not stuck with me and paid 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:56.680 the price? See, sometimes God will ask us to put 0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:00.719 up with things to help another person. Are the people 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:04.400 that are unselfish enough to say, God, I trust you. 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.000 It's uncomfortable, it's not fair. I'm not gonna do it 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:09.880 because I want to. I'm not gonna do it because 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.239 I feel like it. But God, I'm gonna do it 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:12.760 unto you. 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.639 Let me tell you. God rewards people like that. The 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:18.120 apostle Paul put it this way. 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:22.240 I have learned how to be content, whether I'm being 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.800 treated right or being treated wrong, whether I have a 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.560 lot or whether I have a little, whether I'm getting 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:32.399 my way or not getting my way. He was basically saying, 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:36.199 I just bloom wherever I'm planning. I'm just gonna be happy. 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.280 And have a good attitude, knowing that God has directed 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:42.720 my steps. He's in complete control, and it's all a 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:46.560 part of his divine plan for my life. I was 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:48.879 out walking through the woods a while back, and I 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.520 came to this one big open area that was full. 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.200 Of these large, tall weeds. 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:58.399 I mean acres and acres. Everywhere I could see that 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:02.760 were these dead, dry, brown, ugly looking weeds. As I 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:05.840 continued walking through the open field, about one hundred yards in, 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:11.480 I saw this beautiful flower. It was so bright, so colorful, 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:15.040 so refreshing. It had bloomed right there in the middle 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:18.880 of acres and acres of old, ugly, dried up weeds. 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.800 And I thought, really, that's what God wants. 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:24.560 Us to do. Just bloom wherever you're planet. 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.159 You may work around a bunch of weeds, but that 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:31.159 doesn't have to stop you from blooming. You may be 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.720 married to an old weed, but the good news is 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:41.280 you can still bloom. Victoria puts your hand down, but 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:45.479 our environment does not have to keep us from being happy. 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:46.920 Here's the key. 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:50.560 Don't stay focused on the weeds. Some of you are 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.120 spending all your time, so to speak, trying to pull 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.240 up the weeds in other words, trying to fix everything 0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:58.960 in your life, trying to make people do what's right, 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.360 trying to straight out all your coworkers. 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:05.240 Now, listen, you can't change people. Only God can. 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:08.320 If somebody wants to be a weed, no matter what 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.600 you do, they're going to be a weed. If you're 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.760 spending all your time and energy trying to change them, 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.679 it's going to keep you from blooming. One of the 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.679 best things you can do is right in the middle 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:23.760 of those weeds, just bloom bigger than ever, Right in 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:26.760 the middle of those co workers that are negative and critical. 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:30.160 Just put a smile on your face. Be kind, be friendly, 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:33.800 have a good report. When they complain, don't preach a 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.960 sermon to them. Don't try to stop them. Your job 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:39.359 is not to pull up the weeds. Your job is 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:39.960 to bloom. 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:41.400 Just have a good report. 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.879 The more they complain, the more grateful you should be. 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:48.160 The more they talk defeat, the more you should talk victory. 0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:51.840 If they come in one morning sour and rude to you, 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:54.720 don't get all offended and think, well, I'm never going 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:57.120 to speak to them again. Now that's the time, more 0:20:57.160 --> 0:21:00.200 than ever, to bloom. Put a smile on your face. Anyway, 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.920 have a good attitude in spite of that, and understand 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:09.240 we are responsible to people, we are not responsible for people. 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:13.160 In other words, we're responsible to help people, to encourage 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:17.159 them to further them along, but we are not responsible 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:18.240 for their choices. 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:21.840 You cannot make someone have a good attitude. 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:25.760 If they want to live in the pits, unhappy, discouraged 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:29.920 in self pity, that's their choice. And if you're not careful, 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:32.840 you'll allow them to drag you into the pit with them. 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:36.280 You'll want to help them so much that you'll spend 0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:39.240 all your time trying to encourage them, trying to make 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.400 them do what's right, trying to keep them cheered up. 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:45.360 They'll end up draining all the life and energy out 0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:49.159 of you. You cannot bloom if you're weighted down with 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:52.919 the burden of trying to keep everybody in your life happy. 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:57.200 That is not your responsibility. I learned a long time ago. 0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:01.680 Everybody doesn't want to be happy. Some people like living 0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:04.520 in the pits. They like the attention that it brings in. 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:08.000 You gotta make the decision. If you don't want to 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:10.639 be happy, that's fine, but you're not gonna keep me 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:11.919 from being happy. 0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:13.280 If you want to live in the pits. 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:15.080 That's your choice, but I'm not gonna get in the 0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:17.399 pits with you. If you wanna be a weed, you 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:18.119 can be a weed. 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:20.360 But I'm gonna be a flower. I'm gonna bloom. I'm 0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:21.400 gonna have a good attitude. 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:26.679 I'm gonna smile, I'm gonna be happy in spite of 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:31.040 my circumstances. When you bloom in the midst of all 0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:34.920 those weeds, that is a seed that you're sowing. It's 0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:37.960 not only gonna inspire and challenge the people around you 0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:41.000 to come up higher, but that's a seed for God 0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:44.040 to take you higher. I know some of you right now. 0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:47.480 You're in a negative environment. The people in your life 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:51.840 aren't really going places. There's no goals, no dreams, no vision, 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:55.320 no enthusiasm. You don't really see how you could ever 0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:58.520 rise out of that. It'd be easy to just accept 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:01.000 it and settle where you are and think that that's 0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:04.879 your destiny. Let me challenge you, that is not your destiny. 0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:08.639 You were made for more. God has incredible things in 0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:11.520 your future. You have got to do your part and 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:13.000 bloom where you're planet. 0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:16.920 What does that mean? Develop your gifts and talents. 0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:21.159 Whatever you do whatever your occupation is, get better at it, 0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:26.440 improve your skills, read books, take training courses, go back 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:29.080 to school if you need to. Don't you dare just 0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:32.320 sit back and think I'll never rise any higher, I'll 0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:33.800 never get out of this neighborhood. 0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:35.800 I guess this is just my lot in life. 0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:39.560 No, your lot in life is to excel, it's to 0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:42.280 go further, it's to make a difference in this world. 0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:45.280 You need to draw that line in the sand and say, 0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:47.840 I'm not gonna settle where I am. I know I 0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:50.399 was made for more. I'm a child of the most 0:23:50.440 --> 0:23:53.520 tied God. I have seeds of greatness on the inside 0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:55.920 of me. So I'm gonna rise up and be the 0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:58.680 best that I can be right where I am, knowing 0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:00.919 that God is going to get me to where I'm. 0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:05.000 Supposed to be. This is what Joseph did. 0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:08.280 It looked like his destiny was to be a slave 0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:12.560 all of his life. He was mistreated, lied about, even 0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:14.600 spent years in prison for something. 0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:17.680 That he didn't do. But I love the fact that Joseph. 0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:20.600 Didn't get negative, he didn't complain, he didn't give up. 0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:23.400 He just kept blooming where he was planted, kept being 0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:26.160 his best right where he was. Let me tell you 0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:29.160 you can't keep a good person down. God got him 0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:31.680 to where he was supposed to be. You may be 0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:35.040 surrounded by a bunch of weeds today, people that are 0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:37.560 not going any place, or people that are even telling 0:24:37.600 --> 0:24:39.639 you that you're not going to make anything out of 0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:42.959 your life. Now plug your ears full of cotton and 0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:44.560 just bloom where you are. 0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:45.879 You can prove them wrong. 0:24:46.280 --> 0:24:48.280 You can be the one to set a new standard 0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:49.040 for your family. 0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:51.000 You can be the one to raise the bar. 0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:53.800 And let me tell you, when God sees you doing 0:24:53.960 --> 0:24:57.040 what you can do, God will show up and do 0:24:57.119 --> 0:24:59.639 what you can't do. He'll give you breaks that you 0:24:59.640 --> 0:25:02.520 didn't deserve. He'll cause people to be good. 0:25:02.280 --> 0:25:03.800 To you for no reason. 0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:07.520 He'll open up doors that no man can shut. That's 0:25:07.560 --> 0:25:10.720 his favor shining down on your life. I read a 0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:13.960 story about a boy that was born in extreme poverty 0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:18.679 in Puerto Rico. His name is Juan Rodriguez. Growing up, 0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:21.000 he and his family hardly had anything to eat. The 0:25:21.040 --> 0:25:23.320 place they were living was nothing more than a shack. 0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:26.359 At seven years old, he was working in the sugar 0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:30.159 cane fields, plowing behind the oxen didn't look like he 0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:31.800 had much of a future. It didn't look like he 0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:33.600 would ever get out of that environment. 0:25:34.119 --> 0:25:35.840 But right close to his house there was. 0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:40.000 An old rundown, beat up golf course, and one was 0:25:40.080 --> 0:25:43.399 so intrigued by golf that he made his own golf 0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:44.520 club out of a stick. 0:25:45.119 --> 0:25:46.800 He would use bottle caps as. 0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:49.080 The ball, and all through the day he'd go around 0:25:49.119 --> 0:25:53.119 playing golf on his imaginary golf course. A few years later, 0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:55.919 when one of the golfers saw how interested he was 0:25:55.960 --> 0:25:58.520 in golf, they got him a job up at the course, 0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:02.720 making thirty five cents day. Whenever one wasn't working, he 0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:06.080 was up there playing golf, getting better and better, being 0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:07.280 the best that he could be. 0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:08.240 Right where he was. 0:26:09.000 --> 0:26:12.200 At twenty one years of age, after spending two years 0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:14.960 in the US Army, he was hired as a full 0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:18.800 time caddy at a golf course in Puerto Rico. One day, 0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:22.720 a professional golfer came through and saw how talented one was. 0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:26.359 This golfer took one under his wings and started working 0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:30.240 with him, teaching him training him today many years later, 0:26:30.840 --> 0:26:35.000 Juan Rodriguez is better known as Chichi Rodriguez. He went 0:26:35.040 --> 0:26:38.520 on to win eight tournaments on the PGA Tour was 0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:42.399 named the Senior Player of the Year. He started the 0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:47.320 Chi Chi Rodriguez Youth Foundation to help other children rise 0:26:47.359 --> 0:26:49.720 out of defeat and poverty like he did. 0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:54.600 What am I saying, Bloom where you're planet. Don't make excuses. 0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:58.480 Don't go through life thinking I've got a disadvantage. I've 0:26:58.480 --> 0:27:02.040 got too many obstacles. I'm the wrong nationality, I come 0:27:02.040 --> 0:27:04.800 from the wrong family. I don't have the connections. I 0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:08.000 could never get out of this environment. No, you may 0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:10.280 not see how you can get out, but the good 0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:11.560 news is God does. 0:27:11.760 --> 0:27:13.160 He already has a way. 0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:17.040 And your destiny is not determined by how you were raised, 0:27:17.119 --> 0:27:19.879 or by your circumstances, or by how many odds are 0:27:19.920 --> 0:27:23.919 against you. Your destiny is determined by the creator of 0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:24.680 the universe. 0:27:25.000 --> 0:27:26.840 And if you will take what God has. 0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:29.639 Given you and make the most of it, just like 0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:32.960 with chie Chee, God will open up the right doors, 0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:35.639 He'll give you the right breaks, and he'll bring the 0:27:35.720 --> 0:27:39.359 right people across your path. I'm asking us today to 0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:43.440 get rid of the excuses. Quit waiting for things to change, 0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:45.760 and then you're going to be happy. No, so is 0:27:45.840 --> 0:27:50.080 see and be happy right now when you're in difficult times. Remember, 0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:53.080 God's either doing a work in you or He's using 0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:55.399 you to do a work in someone else. But as 0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:58.200 long as you're in faith, where you are is where 0:27:58.200 --> 0:28:02.200 you're supposed to be. Fighting against everything trying to get 0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:04.919 somewhere else, and just start being the best that you 0:28:04.960 --> 0:28:07.960 can be right where you are. If you will make 0:28:08.000 --> 0:28:11.160 this decision to bloom where you're planted, then you are 0:28:11.160 --> 0:28:14.760 passing the test. God promises he will pour out his 0:28:14.880 --> 0:28:18.280 blessings in favor. You will not only live your life happy, 0:28:18.560 --> 0:28:20.920 but God will take you places that you've never even 0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:24.040 dreamed of. And I believe in declare you will become 0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:27.080 everything God's created you to be, and you will have 0:28:27.480 --> 0:28:29.119 everything God intended for you to have. 0:28:29.200 --> 0:28:30.879 Amen.
