Soo I have been reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan.. I mean whoa!! At first I was so confused as to why I was reading this and forgot about it after the first chapter. Then I picked it up again and started re-reading it. God was really speaking to me through this book. It's about this radical change and breaking out of the ordinary. This is becoming my favorite book. I wanted to share some of my favorite quotes from the book. Here are just a couple..
- "In the midst of our failed attempts at loving Jesus, His grace covers us."
- "God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love."
- "Following Christ isnt something that can be done halfheartedly or on the side. It is not a label we can display when it is useful. It must be central to everything we do and are."
- "NOTHING should concern us more than our relationship with God; it's about eternity, and nothing compares to that."
- "God wants to change us; He died so that we could change. The ansewer lies in letting him change us."
- "Having faith often means doing what others see as crazy. Something is wrong when our lives make sense to unbelievers."
quite possibly my favorite quote so far..
-" God doesnt call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesnt come through."
aaand the last one,
-"True faith is loving a person after he has hurt you. True love makes you stand out."
These quotes each have stuck out to me in many ways. I am so excited that God is teaching me new things and I am growing deeper and deeper in love with Him. :)
