Martha, Mary, Lazarus?

Me..I am the Martha, but I have always wanted to be someone or something else. At times I am glad to be the doing one, but other times, I really want to be the one center stage, or the one sitting at the feet of Jesus. The truth: Not always living content with who Christ created me to be, want more, more, more! Once again..Jesus addresses my heart need in such a still small voice...but He spoke to me...this time through another online devotion I get, but rarely read. After I hit the "encouraging word" from Klove, I opened "Upwords with Max Lucado." Today it was on Mary, Martha, and Lazarus.

"God gave Martha a bass drum of service. God gave Mary a flute for praise. And God gave Lazarus a trumpet. And he stood on center stage and played it.

God still gives trumpets. God still calls people from the pits. God still gives pinch-me-I'm-dreaming, too-good-to-be-true testimonies. But not everyone has a dramatic testimony. Who wants a band full of trumpets?

Some convert the lost. Some encourage the saved. And some keep the movement in step. All are needed." (From Cast of Characters© Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2008, Max Lucado Now Available)

I needed that....don't have to be a Mary or a Lazarus...I get to be who God wants me to be and I need to be content with that.
