Quotes about Others

Those who have matured spiritually, now put service to others at the center of their quest and of their lives.

Remember that the lives of other people are not your business. They are their business. They are God's business because they all have God whether they use the word God or not. Even your own life is not your business. It also is God's business. Leave it to God.
