better than John Brown

Why do I struggle with contentment so much? I remember reading "Hinds feet on high places" and being struck with how nature reveled in being just what God intended it to be... A stream alway running lower and lower, a blossom lasting just a day or two... Tonight I read in Isaiah 49, "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant?"

I really want that to be enough. And it should be. I mean, wow, look at people clamoring to be the next American Idol, or that awful show they advertise during AI, Moment of Truth... People destroying their lives and relationships for a few dollars. I get to serve the God of all heaven. If I want, if I'm willing to do what it takes, I could get to be close enough to Him to know what His most heartfelt desires!!! And is it too small a thing for me to be His servant.

John Brown was a simple Scotsman who served Queen Victoria at Balmoral Castle. Through his friendship and care he became one of the Queen's most trusted and privileged servants. How much greater my potential privilege.
