“Obligations to others are opportunities for service, not impositions. We are given time and energy not to hoard them or dole them out in miserly pinches. The whole point of having time and energy is to spend them on others in service to God for His glory. They are just some of the talents (see Matt. 25:14–30) God has given us in this life that we are to return to Him with a profit.”
