God and the human element are not two co-existing and co-operating factors. The human element is what God created ... Between God and true service of God there can be no rivalry. Service of God does not have to be removed in order that God himself may be honoured in it. Where God is truly served, there - with no removal of the human element, with the full essential presence and operation of the human element in all its humanity - the willing and doing of God is not just present as a first or second co-operating factor; it is present as the first and decisive thing as befits God the Creator and Lord.
Church Dogmatics I/1, 94.
What a way to inspire us as we serve others! Our humanity - in all its weakness - does not get in the way of God's work. How can it, given that he created it and has redeemed it? Keep serving my friends, God is at work through you...
