Your life is a gift. Before anything else can be said about you, for some reason the universe (or God, or being, or force, or reality, or whatever you name it) chose to give you life.

More quotes by Rob Bell
Suffering, it turns out, demands profound imagination. A new future has to be conjured up because the old future isn't there anymore.
Rob Bell
What does happen constantly with all kinds of people I meet is they say I had this encounter with Jesus, can you help me understand it... The labels, more than ever, simply aren't big enough to contain what the cosmic Christ is up to in the world.
Rob Bell
Your deepest, darkest sins and your shameful secrets are simply irrelevant when it comes to the counterintuitive, ecstatic announcement of the gospel. So are your goodness, your rightness, your church attendance, and all of the wise, moral, mature decisions you have made and actions you have taken.
Rob Bell
Something is profoundly wrong and we are desperate for justice, for restoration and for somebody somewhere to do something about this.
Rob Bell
When you forgive somebody, when you are generous, when you withhold judgment, when you love and when you stand up to injustice, you are, in that moment, bringing heaven to earth.
Rob Bell
Creating and sharing beautiful things has provided me with the inspiration that we can do things we never thought we could do and that we will get to see wonderful things we never thought we would see.
Rob Bell
There's way too much wonder and mystery all around us to not stay open to more that's going on here. You can wake up, and sense and feel and taste and hear a whole world right here within this one, right here in this breath you're about to take.
Rob Bell
You turn the light on, you get all kinds of bugs.
Rob Bell
God is bigger than the Christian faith.
Rob Bell
My experience is that lots of people go to church, sing the songs, tell the story, etc but have profound ambivalence about God.
Rob Bell
It is better to be fully present and rested and engaged for one thing than rushed, distracted, and scattered for ten.
Rob Bell
We need to return to the simplicity that God is love.
Rob Bell
The fact that we are loved and accepted and forgiven in spite of everything we have done is simply too good to be true.
Rob Bell
If there's any place where you would express your deepest doubts, it would be church.
Rob Bell
One of the oldest aches in the bones of humanity is loneliness. I mean it's one of the things that goes way back loneliness is not good for the world. And so, whoever you are, gay or straight, it is totally normal, natural, and healthy to want somebody to go through life with. It's central to our humanity.
Rob Bell
And this reality extends beyond this life. Heaven is full of forgiven people. Hell is full of forgiven people. Heaven is full of people God loves, whom Jesus died for. Hell is full of forgiven people God loves, whom Jesus died for. The difference is how we choose to live, which story we choose to live in, which version of reality we trust.
Rob Bell
God gives us what we want. For people who want nothing to do with peace, joy, reconciliation and peace... God will give you what you want. I see people make unbelievably destructive choices.
Rob Bell
It's absolutely crucial that we come face to face with the power of our choices.
Rob Bell
The life that you want begins the moment you embrace the life you have because all of it is a miracle.
Rob Bell
We shape our God, and then our God shapes us.
