Bob Goff Quotes

That's what this thing called Christian life is all about, isn't it. Going . . . yet not knowing. As followers of our Lord we believe He leads us in a certain direction . . . or in pursuit of a precise goal.

Proceed with much prayer, and your way will be made plain.

God doesn't always give us a blueprint for our lives, but he always gives us a next step.

Walking and overcoming by faith is not easy. For one thing, the dimension of time constantly constrains our perspective. Likewise, the world steadily tempts us. No wonder we are given instructive words from Jesus about the narrowness and the straightness of the only path available to return home: “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). And then he said, “No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Jesus laid down strict conditions.

I walk with the Lord, just trusting day by day and week by week and month by month, what the next season holds and what the best next move for me is.

God does have a specific plan for our lives, but it is not one that He expects us to figure out before we make a decision.

The way of Jesus cannot be imposed or mapped — it requires an active participation in following Jesus as he leads us through sometimes strange and unfamiliar territory, in circumstances that become clear only in the hesitations and questionings, in the pauses and reflections where we engage in prayerful conversation with one another and with him.

I’ve discovered that if I don’t take the first step, God generally won’t reveal the next step.

Let us put ourselves into His hands, and not be startled though He leads us by a strange way, a mirabilis via, as the Church speaks. Let us be sure He will lead us right, that He will bring us to that which is, not indeed what we think best, nor what is best for another, but what is best for us.

I started making some proper decisions, getting things in order. It's kind of like cleaning up your house. I was looking for direction for what God wanted me to do - and that's when I got a call about The Passion.

I know that Jesus is in charge; he's walking with me.

I am a firm believer that God has already ordered the things that have taken place in my life... and I'm just learning to follow the path he's laid before me.

It's an exciting life. I don't know where God is leading us. I just know that He opens doors and He closes the doors, and it is always the best for us.

I know that I've been guided by God. I am obedient.

Faith means living with uncertainty - feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark.

The Divine Impulse - it's always safe to follow it. We've got to trust it and go wherever it takes us. Especially women.

I place my life in the hands of God each day. And I trust that He knows what He's doing, even when I do not.

As always, I am receptive to whatever doors God may open.

I'm a true believer that God puts us in situations to help us ultimately get to where we need to be.

I know God has a plan for me. I don't know what it is.

God will put me where he wants me.

Don't plan without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken Him into account.

You know why the road curves as you're driving along? It curves because if God showed us the distance from where we are to where we’re going, we’d think it was too far.

If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it.

I don't see the big picture. I don't have a clue. But I know God does. I'm going to declare that, even if I don't feel it right now.
