Commandment Quote by Nick Harrison

“He said, “A new commandment I give you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.” And how had he loved them? Not by feeling emotional! But He washed their feet anyway, because love does not do what it feels, it does what is needed.” quote by Nick Harrison
