Quotes# 4: Soul Exists Because God Loves It: Famous Quotes on the Soul

On the Long Journey Home

Everyone you encounter is holy because they are a child of God. Everywhere you go is holy ground because God made it. So treat people and things accordingly and life will open up. Always remember you are a child of God and are yourself holy.

Remember the Golden Rule

When you honor the sacredness of all people and things, then applying the Golden Rule - "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" really works. If you have trouble it remember this... whatever you do to others will eventually be "done to you". Seeing others as Soul a little easier now?
