A servant is one that provides a service, aids, helps, assists. A servant humbles themselves to God and looks at the needs of others before their own. A servant leads by setting examples which provides a service to the followers.
A servant serves even when she doesn't want to. She gives when its not convenient. She goes where she's not welcomed and when sleep has been a distant memory. She loves when they don't deserve it. She feeds when even she is hungry. All for God.
The life of a servant seems like a tired one, one that is thankless. I will tell you though, that to be in service for the Lord is a Joy, a fulfillment that is complete in itself.
Being a member of the Body of Christ and working in your area is a "filled cup". If you are a finger in the body of Christ all your hearts desires are to point and touch. You want to do what you are meant to do. You are at you happiest when you get to point and touch. If you are a hair on the head, your greatest desires are to blow in the wind and maybe keep a neck warm. So if God created us and we are a part of the body, fulfilling our function is a marvelous thing. Its a service that is gladly done. I encourage any one looking for where they fit in in the body to just get in where you fit in. God will miraculously move you and shift you into the spot where you belong (Romans 8:28) Serve where you are with joy in your heart.
