What this quote means
We are responsible for our actions, but we must trust a higher power for the outcomes.

It suggests that while we are tasked with putting in our efforts and caring about our work and decisions, the ultimate responsibility for the results lies beyond our control, with a higher power or divine presence. This perspective encourages us to take action while also relinquishing worry over what we cannot govern.

All quotes βIt was wonderful love that Christ should rather die for us than for the angels that fell. They were creatures of a more noble extract, and in all probability might have brought greater revenues of glory to God; yet that Christ should pass by those golden vessels, and make us clods of earth into stars of glory -- Oh, the hyperbole of Christ's love!
