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.

That's one of those things about love. It always assumes it can find a way to express itself.
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.

The world will figure out what we really believe, by watching what we actually do.
Bob Goff
Image
We keep telling God our opinions He keeps asking us about our hearts. We'll grow the most when we have the right conversations.

We plant sod where God wants 2 plant seed. He's more interested in growing our character than having us look finished.

God doesn't break things so He can fix them He fixes broken things so He can use them.

Next to grace, I bet God thinks making us need each other was one of His best ideas.
