I know that sounds so circular, but for you, what you were made to do, is different than what I was made to do. But instead of spending all of our time having Bible studies about what we were made to do, go do stuff and you'll figure out what you were made to do, because you'll be great at some things and you'll be terrible at others.

God keeps telling us to be not afraid, to go big

Do less of what you're terrible at and more of what you're good at. I don't know if that sounds too simple, but it's been working for me.

I'm all for getting together with men and women in small groups around Scripture and letting it just wash over us, but for me, I've been meeting with the same ten guys for like 15 years now, but we don't have a Bible study every Friday, we have a Bible doing.

You don't want to pick a fight with just the guy at the deli, [you want to] pick a fight somewhere in the world and just run towards it. Run because the fight is going to go on without you if you miss it.

Don't let other people decide who you are.

Faith isn't figuring out what we're able to do, it's deciding what we're going to do - even when we think we can't.

I used to think that real love involved falling for someone but now I think it usually involves standing for someone.

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. It's more about how God helps us dust ourselves off so we can swing for the fences again. And all of this without keeping a meticulous record of our screw-ups.

God often waits until we're out of ideas before He lets us know His plans. He competes for our hearts, not our attention.

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.

The way we treat people we disagree with most is a report card on what we've learned about love.

No one leads people to Jesus He leads people to Himself. All the pressure's off just go love everybody without agenda.
Bob Goff
Image
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.

We spend a lot of energy remembering failures God spent a lot of love saying we could forget.
