content with a small place

The other day I talked at length with a dear one.
she's in the spotlight. . . we identified the struggle in her heart, the struggle to please people. I know the temptation . . .don't we all?
Sigh. . .it's a trap!
The fear of man brings a snare (Prov 25:29)
And then I read this little quote, jotted in my journal-by whom?
"I'm content to fill a small place."
hmmm, that's what I want. . . even when I'm in the spotlight-making much of God and content to fill a very small place.
