About This Quote
The fact that your current station in life would seem to conspire against your usefulness to God is of no consequence. This quote is about the unimportance of external circumstances. People who are constantly unhappy and depressed can often find themselves thinking that their current situation would be better if they were in a better one. Instead, the idea behind the quote is that external circumstances don’t matter; what matters is what you do with them. God does not hold our circumstances against us; He holds us against ourselves.
