“Have you ever noticed that Jesus is never recorded as taking a holiday? He retired for the purposes of his mission, not from it. He was never destroyed by his work; he was always on top of it. He moved among people as the master of every situation. He was busier than anyone; the multitudes were always at him, yet he had time, for everything and everyone.

He knew exactly when the moment had come for doing something and when it had not.” PeopleMomentsPurposeJesusHoursSituationMastersMovedBusyMissionsDestroyedMy TimeHolidayMultitudesRetiredToo BusySupremacyBusier Author:Evelyn Underhill
