It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird:
it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg.

giving some time to God, some to our business or schooling,

under the authority of God, and for the honor and glory of God. 
That is what the Christian life is all about.

where all kinds of flowers can bloom and grow.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Our Lord’s first obedience was to the will of his Father, not to the needs of men;
the saving of men was the natural outcome of his obedience to the Father.
Oswald Chambers
