Favorite Bob Goff Quotes

1. "You weren't just an incredible idea that God never got around to making. The next step happened for the world when God dropped you on the planet." ~ Bob Goff
2. "I don't think Bible verses were meant to be thrown like grenades at each other. They were meant for us to use to point each other toward love and grace and invite us into something much bigger." ~ Bob Goff
3. "When love is a theory, it's safe, it's free of risk. But love in the brain changes nothing." ~ Bob Goff
4. "He didn't tell me I was a fool and that my idea would fall off the tracks on the way to the launchpad. He didn't tell me I would surely crater even if I did briefly lift off. He was resolute, unequivocal, and had no agenda. He was with me." ~ Bob Goff
5. "I wasn't a project; I was his friend." ~ Bob Goff
6. "[...] most [Christians] I had met up until that time were kind of wimpy and seemed to have more opinions about what or who they were against than who they were for." ~ Bob Goff
7. "He saw the need and he did something about it. He didn't just say he was for me or with me. He was actually present with me." ~ Bob Goff
8. "Love does." ~ Bob Goff
9. "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." ~ Bob Goff
10. "...we need to stop plotting the course and instead just land the plane on our plans to make a difference by getting to the "do" part of faith." ~ Bob Goff
11. "...love is never stationary." ~ Bob Goff
12. "Simply put: love does." ~ Bob Goff
13. "Living a life fully engaged and 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. Their dreams become one of those "we'll go there next time" deferrals. The sad thing is, for many there is no "next time" because passing on the chance to cross over is an overall attitude toward life rather than a single decision." ~ Bob Goff
14. "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." ~ Bob Goff
15. "I used to think God wouldn't talk to me, but now I know I'm just selective with what I choose to hear." ~ Bob Goff
16. "For me, it's Jesus plus nothing-..." ~ Bob Goff
17. "Whimsy doesn't care if you are the driver or the passenger; all that matters is that you are on your way." ~ Bob Goff
18. "What Jesus said we could do is leave typical behind." ~ Bob Goff
19. "Most people need love and acceptance a lot more than they need advice." ~ Bob Goff
20. "I want to go barefoot because it's holy ground; I want to be running because time is short and none of us has as much runway as we think we do; and I want it to be a fight because that's where we can make a difference. That's what love does." ~ Bob Goff
21. "We don't really make friends, they make us." ~ Bob Goff
22. "But I've always wondered if, when we want to do something that we know is right and good, God places that desire deep in out hearts because He wants it for us and it honors Him. Maybe there are times when we think a door has been close and, instead of misinterpreting the circumstances, God wants us to kick it down. Or perhaps just sit outside of it long enough until somebody tells us we can some in." ~ Bob Goff
23. "Words can launch us. We don't need to be a dean to say words that change everything for someone. Instead, God made it so that ordinary people like you and me can launch each other." ~ Bob Goff
24. "If Jesus has taught me anything, though, it's that sometimes you can really want to know somebody and it takes them forever to want to know you back." ~ Bob Goff
25. "[...] love is a do thing. It's an energy that has to be dissipated." ~ Bob Goff
26. "[...] we call could be used, not just when we're broken, but especially because we're broken." ~ Bob Goff
27. "Jesus lets us be real with our life and our faith." ~ Bob Goff
28. "Finally, and definitely the coolest part, is that you get a card from the State Department that gives you diplomatic immunity. I wasn't exactly sure what diplomatic immunity meant, so I asked around to see if I could kill someone. Not someone important, of course, but someone normal - like Doug. I never got a call back on the question so I'm operating under the assumption that I can." ~ Bob Goff
29. "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." ~ Bob Goff
30. "Grace works that way. It's a kind word from a gentle person with an impossible prayer. It's a force sometimes transmitted best hand to hand in a dark place." ~ Bob Goff
31. "Every day God invites us on the same kind of adventure. It's not a trip where He sends us a rigid itinerary, He simply invites us. God asks what it is He's made us to love, what it is that captures our attention, what feeds that deep indescribable need of our souls to experience the richness of the world He made. And then, leaning over us, He whispers, "Let's go do that together." ~ Bob Goff
