"Sometimes the very desire for action leads to the neglect of action. We're so busy searching for the perfect opportunity, the most effective method, the favorable moment - so intent are we on improving on God's timing - that we not only disqualify ourselves for the mission and miss the joy, but an urgent need is left unanswered - forever.
I have often experienced the pull of an inner voice, urging me to call a friend who is in need... . Born of genuine concern for my friend, my determination to provide the most propitious response thwarts the entire effort."
-Joy MacKenzie
