About This Quote

When you see people only as personalities, rather than souls with life missions to fulfill, you forever limit the growth and possibilities of what God has in store for another person. When you see people in this way, you love one another in a superficial sort of way. You love them because they are nice or pretty or fun to be around. You don’t really love them for who they are—not because they are important to God, not because they are important to you, not because they are important to their families, not because they are important to your family. When you love people in this way, you stay connected with them on a superficial level while ignoring the deep needs that lie beneath the surface.
