God is in everyone and everything. When we save each other or guide each other or just love each other, we are doing God's work.

When a man experiences this often, and more particularly from those whom he considered his most dear and best friends, at last, having frequently made a slip, he hates the whole world, and thinks that there is nothing sound at all in any of them.
