Bob Goff Quotes
-
Fix your eyes on Jesus; it's ok to stare.
-
I don't think anyone aims to be typical, really. Most people even vow to themselves some time in high school or college not to be typical. But still, they just kind of loop back to it somehow. Like the circular rails of a train at an amusement park, the scripts we know offer a brand of security, of predictability, of safety for us. But the problem is, they only take us where we've already been. They loop us back to places where everyone can easily go, not necessarily where we were made to go. Living a different kind of life takes some guts and grit and a new way of seeing things.

Sometimes we ask God for help and God gives us hope, not because it's different, but because it's the same.
-
Being engaged is a way of doing life, a way of living and loving. It's about going to extremes and expressing the bright hope that life offers us, a hope that makes us brave and expels darkness with light. That's what I want my life to be all about - full of abandon, whimsy, and in love.
-
Too often we are posers. Don't be afraid. Be you. Live a life worthy of the calling YOU'VE received.
-
We can be the light of the world without leaving our high beams on and annoying everybody.
-
We plant sod where God wants 2 plant seed. He's more interested in growing our character than having us look finished.
