Romance Quote by Rob Bell — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“If it is true, if it is beautiful, if it is honorable, if it is right, then claim it. Because it is from God. And you belong to God.”

“If anybody didn't have a messiah complex, it was Jesus”

“The moment God is figured out with nice neat lines and definitions, we are no longer dealing with God.”

“Jesus is God's way of refusing to give up his dream for the world.”

“As we experience this love, there is a temptation at times to become hostile to our earlier understandings, feeling embarrassed that we were so "simple" or "naive," or "brainwashed" or whatever terms arise when we haven't come to terms with our own story. These past understandings aren't to be denied or dismissed; they're to be embraced. Those experiences belong. Love demands that they belong. That's where we were at that point in our life and God met us there. Those moments were necessary for us to arrive here, at this place at this time, as we are. Love frees us to embrace all of our history, the history in which all things are being made new.”

“Our tendency in the midst of suffering is to turn on God. To get angry and bitter and shake our fist at the sky and say, "God, you don't know what it's like! You don't understand! You have no idea what I'm going through. You don't have a clue how much this hurts.”

“Sable hair bisected his pecs and arrowed down to the straight and unequivocal statement of his returned interest. Forcing my gaze to his face, I said, "I really don't think we have time for that.”

“She gave him a brief, mysterious smile. “You were watching me. I felt you before I saw you.”

“Never let a boy know you’re crazy about him. He’ll lose interest, and then you’ll be a loser.”

“And what was your title again? The Silver Saviour?”

“my boy?”

“Love is more than flirty feelings and fun dates. It's about what lives underneath the surface. The commitment you keep even when life gets hard and all the fuzzy feelings fade.”
