What is the difference between thriving and surviving? Indigenous plants flourish and thrive because they are in their home environment and have adapted to the conditions, so they grow strong and healthy. Ask God where He wants you to bloom, be it the desert, mountains or meadows. Wherever it is He will display His glory through you.
