Jesus lets us be real with our life and our faith.
What I noticed, though, is almost every time I type the word love, it gets changed to the word live… I learned that fully loving and fully living are not only synonymous but the kind of life that Jesus invited us to be part of.
Jesus always pointed people towards a better version of themselves - particularly when they'd failed.
No one leads people to Jesus; He leads people to Himself. All the pressure's off; just go love everybody without agenda.
I used to think JESUS motivated us with ultimatums, but now I know He pursues us in LOVE.
God doesn't break things so He can fix them; He fixes broken things so He can use them.
Loving people the way Jesus did, means living a life of constant interruptions. Bring it.
We're part of God's much bigger plan for the whole world. Just like God's Son arrived here, so did you. And after Jesus arrived, God whispered to all of humanity “It's your move.
I don't know every step I'm supposed to take. I think Jesus just wants me to take the next step.
Jesus modelled that we don’t need to talk about everything we’ve done. It’s like He’s saying, what if we were just to do awesome, incredible stuff together while we’re here on earth and the fact that only He knew would be enough? If we did, we wouldn’t get confused about who was really making things happen. Not surprisingly, we’d get a lot more done too, because we wouldn’t care who’s looking or taking credit. All that energy would be funnelled into awesomeness.
The way we deal with uncertainty says a lot about whether Jesus is ahead of us leading, or behind us just carrying our stuff.
What Jesus said we could do is leave typical behind.
I used to think I could learn about Jesus by studying Him, but now I know Jesus doesn't want stalkers.
Jesus is nuts about kids. He doesn't seem to think much of lawyers which really lands close to home, but He's nuts about kids and loves justice.
We won't be like Jesus if it's more important to us to be like each other. God doesn't compare what he creates.
Does the church have all kinds of problems? You bet, because it's made up of people like me, so I get that part too. But all I need to know about the church is that Jesus picked her.
Fix your eyes on Jesus; it's ok to stare.
That's all the information I need to know about the church, Jesus picked it. And so instead of me telling the church how she would really look better if she had this in her hair, or that over there, I think I'm just respecting the Groom's pick.
Jesus never told His friends to play it safe.
Live your life like you're exactly who Jesus thinks you are.
One thing I do is (and I realize this might sound nuts), every month or so, I try to take like an Etch-a-sketch [so to speak], and I clear my faith. I go to zero, clear the deck. And I start adding things back to my faith, one at a time. What would be the first thing I'd add back? Jesus. It sounds a little bit like a Sunday school answer, but that's what I do. Then what's the next thing? And I'd say, well, loving people. And then the next.
Jesus won't try to speak over the noise in our lives; love whispers so we won't be confused about who's doing the talking.
I used to think I could shape the circumstances around me, but now I know Jesus uses circumstances to shape me.
Start from scratch with Jesus every day and then be picky about what you add to your life.
What I've learned the more time I've spent following Jesus is that God delights in answering our impossible prayers.
