God may want your light to shine, to brighten the days, to make a difference where you are. Why don’t you take a different perspective? If you pass that test and bloom where you are planted, God will open new doors. But as long as you are negative and complaining, nothing will change. You are not in position for God to promote you if you are not the best you can be right where you are. When you are in an uncomfortable situation, realize that either God is doing a work in you or He is using you to do a work in someone else. There is a purpose. There is nothing wrong with asking God to change a situation. But until it happens, you have to trust that where you are is where you should be. I’ve found that sometimes God has us endure a difficult season to help somebody else. We have to sow a seed and be uncomfortable, treated unfairly. We have to be extremely patient and kind and overlook things just so another person can become what God has created that individual to be.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Joel Osteen" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/joel-osteen/have-you-ever-thought-that-god-may-have-you-somewhere-on-purpose-so/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/587/joel-osteen-194_asking-god_have-you-ever-thought-that-god-may-have_3045765.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/587/joel-osteen-194_asking-god_have-you-ever-thought-that-god-may-have_3045765.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/587/joel-osteen-194_asking-god_have-you-ever-thought-that-god-may-have_3045765.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Have you ever thought that God may have you somewhere on purpose so you can be a good example?
