Terryl GivensHoliness is found in how we treat others, not in how we contemplate the cosmos. As our experiences in marriages, families, and friendship teach us, it takes relationships to provide the friction that wears down our rough edges and sanctifies us.
About This Quote
It is said that when someone says, "People are more important than things," they are saying that your life depends on your relationships. As the author of the article goes on to say, "Relationships are so much more than just what we do for ourselves... That's why they're so hard to nail down. We can tell who loves us and who doesn't based on their actions, but what about our actions? If you want to know if someone loves you, find out how they act towards others." We all need to learn that people are more important than things because without people, nothing can be accomplished. We need each other in order to be the best version of ourselves.
