"God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being made and let God be God in you"

This quote by Meister Eckhart suggests that people have a responsibility to let go of their egos and enable themselves to be vessels for God's will. The expectation is not for humans to be perfect, however to acknowledge their restrictions as developed beings and allow God to manifest within them. Basically, people ought to make every effort to remove their individual desires and programs from their actions and permit God to resolve them.
