on duty

You are familiar with the concept of being on duty, such as a doctor or a soldier. Someone on duty isn’t necessarily working, but they are available should the need arise. Do you think of yourself as being on duty for me all the time? I told my disciples that my time had not yet come, but their time was always at hand. Do you think of yourself the same way? Normally those on duty rotate with others to provide relief from the burden and heightened sense of awareness it involves. Do you find it a burden to be on duty for me all the time? Yet my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Always be alert to the opportunities I bring you and they will give you life.
