Mariam tried to meet others' expectations. Eventually she was doing work proper to others, while neglecting her own duties. Feeling worn out, Mariam turned to the Master for guidance.
Rabbi Jesus told her, "I called you for My work, not theirs."
Sometimes the pots and pans of others should be done by themselves. It is good to assist those who through no fault of their own cannot help themselves. It is equally good to empower those well able to carry out personal tasks, not to shirk their work.
