What distracts us will begin to define us. We don't need to swing at every pitch.

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.

God never said He'd eliminate all of the chaos from our lives He just said He'd bring meaning to it.
Bob Goff
Image
I used to think that real love involved falling for someone but now I think it usually involves standing for someone.
Bob Goff
Image
God often waits until we're out of ideas before He lets us know His plans. He competes for our hearts, not our attention.

God delights in answering our impossible prayers.

When you identify with an organization and you want to do stuff [but] you get this inexplicable 'no' - a lot of people get off the end and think, Well, God must have said no to me. No! The organization just said no to you. Find what it is that you were made to do and get on it! Go do what you were made to do.

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.
