Jeremiah 40:11-12

Bloom where God plants you. 

Be firm knowing that if He leads you to it He will bring you through it safely. Always keep in mind that Faith without the resulting good works done out of your gratitude and love for the gift of  salvation in Jesus Christ is a dead faith.

The place where you grow in maturity and are fed will produce the fruit of the Holy Spirit in your life. These characteristics of Jesus are to be used for those you come into contact with daily. 

Surely His goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of  your life.

⁵ But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah who had returned to dwell in the land of Judah, from all nations where they had been driven—
