Desire Quote by Jeff Shinabarger

“Our desires consume our time. But when we prioritize our time to help people in great need, our desires change drastically. When we choose to take time to be friends with people who see the world from a different perspective, we begin to see the world from a different perspective.” quote by Jeff Shinabarger — Download Open image
