God does not call us to idleness but to diligence in our service.

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Christians shouldn’t neglect their duties under the pretense of having secret fellowship with Jesus. It’s not just sitting, but sitting at Jesus’ feet, that matters. Don’t think that being active is bad; it’s a great blessing and a means of grace. Those who have the most fellowship with Christ aren’t
recluses or hermits, but hardworking people who are toiling for Jesus and who, in their work, have Him right beside them, so they are working together with God. Let’s remember, in everything we do for Jesus, that we can and should do it in close communion with Him.

Just as birds instinctively know they need to sit on their eggs and feed the little chicks that will hatch, so if God calls you to win souls, you will naturally have a love for them and a desire, given by the Holy Spirit, to see them saved. Your whole
being will be directed toward seeking the salvation of others.
