If we were to serve the world as God has called us to His kingdom would truly be demostrated on the earth and many would come to Him.

It seems absolutely necessary for all of us to quit focusing on ourselves and focus solely on how the Lord desires to serve His creation.

I think part of the problem people have embracing their niche is that they erroneously think that their niche is the very place they're not supposed to be. In other words, they see where they presently are as a place that is apart from God's work. So they are always too busy looking elsewhere to realize that they're already where they need to be in many ways.

They think to themselves, "When I get to such-and-such a place, then I'll really be doing God's work." Instead, they should accept that God is where they are even now -- His kingdom is not just something in the future; His kingdom is here now, even where they are.

The servant leadership Jesus offers us is a leadership toward unimpressiveness because we are not to affect some grandiose otherness, but we are to work hand-to-earth where we are.

Make sense?
