Bob Goff Quotes
Embrace uncertainty. Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives won't have a title until much later.
Don't let not knowing how it'll end keep you from beginning. Uncertainty chases us out into the open where God is waiting.

Selfless love is always costly; fear can't afford it, pride doesn't understand it and friends never forget it.
No one leads people to Jesus; He leads people to Himself. All the pressure's off; just go love everybody without agenda.
Instead of closing our eyes and bowing our heads, sometimes God wants us to keep our eyes open for people in need, do something about it, and bow our whole lives to Him instead.
That's what love does - it pursues blindly, unflinchingly, and without end. When you go after something you love, you'll do anything it takes to get it, even if it costs everything.
Courage doesn't mean we're not afraid anymore, it just means our actions aren't controlled by our doubts.
The teachers I've learned the most from, didn't think they were teaching me; they just thought we were friends.

Something happens when you feel ownership. You no longer act like a spectator or consumer, because you're an owner. Faith is at its best when it's that way too. It's best lived when it's owned.

Most of our decisions are driven by either love or fear. Figure out who's doing the talking, then decide what you'll do.
Stop doing what you're able to do and figure out what you were made to do - then do lots of that.
Love like there's no tomorrow; live like there's no yesterday. We're forgiven; now go love people like we believe it
No book is a chapter, no chapter tells the whole story, no mistake defines who we are. Hope makes our lives page turners.
What I've learned the more time I've spent following Jesus is that God delights in answering our impossible prayers.
I used to think God wouldn’t talk to me, but now I know I’m just selective with what I choose to hear.
The way we deal with uncertainty says a lot about whether Jesus is ahead of us leading, or behind us just carrying our stuff.
Love does whatever it takes to multiply itself and somehow along the way everyone becomes a part of it.
Too often we are posers. Don't be afraid. Be you. Live a life worthy of the calling YOU'VE received.

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

The words we speak to each other should leave stretch marks, not bruises. Love is always picky about what it says.
People who take huge risks aren't afraid to fail. In fact, they love to fail. It's because failing means they found the edge.
