Why should rest not be taken in the spirit of service? Of course it can be easily abused and often is. But that is no reason why honest people may not honestly give themselves to rest so as to fit themselves for further service. I regard it as self-delusion if not worse when a person says he is wearing himself away in service. Is such service preferred by God to service steadily and detachedly performed?
If you work with detachment you will refuse to be rushed and you will refuse to let anything get on your nerves. Having put one’s whole heart into the thing entrusted or undertaken one can leave the rest to God. THen there can be no rush and no hurry.
