Adult life Quote by Neale Donald Walsch

“Most of you, therefore, spend the bulk of your adult life searching for the “right” way to worship, to obey, and to serve God. The irony of all this is that I do not want your worship, I do not need your obedience, and it is not necessary for you to serve Me.” quote by Neale Donald Walsch
