I love to collect spiritual quotes ... in fact I even have a 3x5 file of such quotes! The one I would like to share today is by Pope Francis:
"Rivers do not drink their own water;
Trees do not eat their own fruit;
The sun does not shine on itself and
Flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.
Living for others is a rule of nature.
We are all born to help each other.
No matter how difficult it is ...
Life is good when you are happy;
But much better when others are happy because of you."
Please share some of your favorite spiritual quotes ... or comment upon others that have been shared.
From The Divine Plan by Glenn Clark:
I believe that God has a Divine Plan for me. . . I believe that this beautiful Divine Plan for me is a perfect part of the larger Pattern for the good of all, not something separate unto me alone. . .
I believe that God has selected those persons who are to belong to my plan, and that through proximity, mutual attraction or need, they and I are continually finding each other out. . . I believe in asking my Heavenly Father for only that which is mine to have, knowing that when the right time has come it will be made manifest. . .
I believe that the gifts of God are many thousands of times greater than I am now capable of receiving, and that I should therefore pray to increase my capacity both to receive and to give, for my power to receive is as great as my power to give, and my power to give as to receive. . . I believe that God's plan for life is healthy, happy expression for the good of all, and that everything that makes me feel happy to do will bring happiness to others. . .
I believe that the chief essential of life is to keep in touch with the Father, and let the Divinity that is in me manifest through me. . .
