Don't hurry, don't fret
Not sure I should say whose but a friend's email had these two quotes as the sign-off. Telling.
- Never allow yourself to get into the way of thinking that, just because nothing you can do can earn his favour, God isn’t pleased with what you attempt in his name. Precisely because love cannot be earned or deserved, it is always delighted when it receives answering love. Tom Wright.
- No single mortal can be sufficient to do everything however many and various may be the endowments wherein he excels. Let then God’s servants learn to measure carefully their powers, lest they should wear out by ambitiously embracing too many occupations. For this propensity to engage in too many things is a very common malady and numbers are so carried along by it as not to be easily restrained. Calvin on Exodus 18:15ff
