In all our rushing and running, we forget who we are. Most of us need to discover that we will not begin to live more wholly until we practice the courage to do less and prove less. When we have spent our whole lives hounded by Satan’s temptations to have more, hurt less, and rule faster, nothing is more difficult nor more necessary than to relinquish our reaching and just be still. Sometimes rest is the most courageous work of all. We often must be still in order to realize we are vessels God will always fill.
