God never said He'd eliminate all of the chaos from our lives; He just said He'd bring meaning to it.

I think of the church as this bride of Christ, who is incredibly capable of doing amazing things. And so where we see injustice, we come, not with fists clenched but with palms up.

I used to think that real love involved falling for someone; but now I think it usually involves standing for someone.
Bob Goff -
Live your life like you're exactly who Jesus thinks you are.

I used to be afraid of failing at something that really mattered to me, but now I'm more afraid of succeeding at things that don't matter.

Every time we see people as ordinary, we turn the wine back into water.
Bob Goff -
You don't need a plan; you just need to be present.
Bob Goff -
God's never as nervous about our future, or as concerned about our past, as we are.

Living a life fully engaged and full of whimsy and the kind of things that love does is something most people plan to do, but along the way they just kind of forget. Their dreams become one of those "we'll go there next time" deferrals. The sad thing is, for many there is no "next time" because passing on the chance to cross over is an overall attitude toward life rather than a single decision.

Jesus modelled that we don’t need to talk about everything we’ve done. It’s like He’s saying, what if we were just to do awesome, incredible stuff together while we’re here on earth and the fact that only He knew would be enough? If we did, we wouldn’t get confused about who was really making things happen. Not surprisingly, we’d get a lot more done too, because we wouldn’t care who’s looking or taking credit. All that energy would be funnelled into awesomeness.

Something happens when you feel ownership. You no longer act like a spectator or consumer, because you're an owner. Faith is at its best when it's that way too. It's best lived when it's owned.
Bob Goff -
We'll become whoever we trust the most says we are.
Bob Goff -
Whatever you're aiming for, God's better.

I used to think I could learn about Jesus by studying Him, but now I know Jesus doesn't want stalkers.

Do what lasts, get around to everything else.
Bob Goff -
God finds us in the holes we dig for ourselves. We see failures; He sees foundations.
Bob Goff -
What I noticed, though, is almost every time I type the word love, it gets changed to the word live… I learned that fully loving and fully living are not only synonymous but the kind of life that Jesus invited us to be part of.
Bob Goff -
The words we speak to each other should leave stretch marks, not bruises. Love is always picky about what it says.
Bob Goff -
No book is a chapter, no chapter tells the whole story, no mistake defines who we are. Hope makes our lives page turners.
Bob Goff -
We won't figure out what's sacred in life if we settle for what's safe.

God keeps telling us to be not afraid, to go big.
Bob Goff -
I've learned that God sometimes allows us to find ourselves in a place where we want something so bad that we can't see past it. Sometimes we can't even see God because of it. When we want something that bad, it's easy to mistake what we truly need for the thing we really want. When this sort of thing happens, and it seems to happen to everyone, I've found it's because what God has for us is obscured from view, just around another bend in the road.
Bob Goff -
I used to hope the things I did would work; now I hope they last.
Bob Goff -
Be ambitious about things that last.
