"It is ill to offer God one duty
stained with the blood of another." -
C. H. Spurgeon
It would be foolish to offer God our
courage at the sake of our mercy. It is not wise to offer God our meditation at
the sake of our charity. It is never wise to slaughter one duty in order to
fulfill another duty. If they are both duties, for both you shall give an
account. We may be more greatly disposed or gifted in accomplishing particular
duties than others, but that does not remove the weight of the duties of which we
are not particularly fond. Duty is duty and doing one extremely well to the abandonment
of another is not permissible. We must attend to our duties, leaning in to
those we have been gifted to champion and taking measures to attend to those we
must complete despite our lack of zeal or aptitude.
