What this verse is about
This verse speaks to surrender that is not giving up, the heaviness of what we feel we should have done differently, and action, and what separates doing from being.
✦ Contemplation
You can do hard work without letting it stain you. The staining is a choice.
✦ A small practice
Finish one task today and let it go. Don't carry it into the next thing.
