He And I

He built within me a purpose
And planted me.
Depending on His ultimate purposes,

He sometimes places me.
Winds of trials sometimes fit His purposes;
So, He will occasionally shake me.


I then blossom where He plants me.
I will shine brightly where He placed me.
I will be salt for seasoning when He shakes me.
