Everybody, Always <\/em>Quotes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Below are Everybody, Always <\/em>quotes by Bob Goff from his book about becoming love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJesus talked to His friends a lot about how we should identify ourselves. He said it wouldn\u2019t be what we said we believed or all the good we hoped to do someday. Nope, He said we would identify ourselves simply by how we loved people. It\u2019s tempting to think there is more to it, but there\u2019s not. Love isn\u2019t something we fall into; love is someone we become.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If you love Jesus, then you must love all of Jesus. God created people in Jesus\u2019s image, which means Jesus lives inside all of us. If you only love the people who are easy to love, you are only loving part of Jesus.<\/strong> Jesus wants you to give love freely so that others can see the power of His love through you. That is your purpose<\/a> as part of God\u2019s world, and when you fulfill that purpose, you move farther down the path to your true identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo one is remembered for what they only planned to do.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Look around your life. What are you afraid to do? What have you always wanted to try but didn\u2019t know how? Who are you<\/a> hiding from or wish you could connect with? Who has wronged you or broken your heart? Where is your compassion needed? Who needs someone to believe in them? Believe that God has given you everything you need to live your authentic life<\/a>, and carry that trust forward as you give love to everyone you know and don\u2019t know.<\/strong> You already have the power of God in you. He\u2019s waiting for you to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think Jesus meant something different when He said \u201cenemies.\u201d He meant we should love the people we don\u2019t understand. The ones we disagree with. The ones who are flat wrong about more than a couple of things. I have plenty of those people in my life, and my bet is you do too.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Jesus advised people to \u201clove thy enemies.\u201d The word \u201cenemies\u201d is not being used literally. You likely don\u2019t have many true enemies, but you do know people who you disagree with or who live different lives than you, maybe even lifestyles you don\u2019t believe in. Those are the people you should love because that is how you truly come to know who you are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat is it that you don’t think you can do? What do you think is too big for you? Or too scary, or too risky? Sometimes God whispers it, and sometimes, he shouts it. Whatever the volume, I bet he’s always using the same three words with us: Be Not Afraid.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need to be afraid when you encounter difficult circumstances or people in your life. God told all His disciples to \u201cbe not afraid,\u201d and He meant it. Often, you receive the most grace and understanding about yourself when you go through difficult times. But if you don\u2019t have the nerve or courage to move forward during struggles, you\u2019ll miss out on all the good that follows<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
