Failure is just part of the process, and it's not just okay it's better than okay. God doesn't want failure to shut us down. God didn't make it a three-strikes-and-you're-out sort of thing.

Bob Goff
We plant sod where God wants 2 plant seed. He's more interested in growing our character than having us look finished.
Bob Goff
But the kind of love that God created and demonstrated is a costly one because it involves sacrifice and presence. It's a love that operates more like a sign language than being spoken outright.
Bob Goff
Courage doesn't mean we're not afraid anymore, it just means our actions aren't controlled by our doubts.
Bob Goff
Living a life fully engaged in 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.
