Just a Few Reasons to Love Beth Moore
"Do I believe in miracles? Are you crazy?! I AM a miracle!"
"Few things are more dangerous than looking back to that from which God has delivered us."
"God either has a lot of grace...or poor taste."
"When somebody's chasing you and you want to be caught, you slow down."
"I love that sound; that must be as sweet as the flutter of angel wings to Him." (On the sound that fills a room when everyone is turning in their Bibles for a verse.)
"God will prey on your worst fears; everything I feared most is now most of what I do."
"A place we think we've randomly happened upon can be a divinely scheduled venue for an awesome encounter with God."
"I have been told many times, 'Beth, I can't change the way I feel.' But we can change the way we think which will lead to a change in the way we feel. That's the essence of the 'renewed mind' (see Rom. 12: 2). As long as we keep thinking the same old thoughts, we'll keep feeling the same old feelings."
"Obedience is not the hardest part of our most trying tests. Keeping the faith can be hardest of all."
"God is not going to exempt His children from life's difficulty. Rather, He highlights those very challenges to prove [to us] that our faith is genuine."
"You and I can be relieved that God is willing to associate His great name with individuals and families that clearly don't have it all together."
"Beloved, God is God--holy, wonderful, and merciful--even if someone who held Him up as an example to us didn't reflect His character. Don't confuse God with man! However, when man has something of God to offer, receive it even when the flesh-and-blood chanel of blessing is imperfect."
"Why would God allow such a profound concept to be illustrated first through the lacking relationships of man? To teach the unknown through the known."
"Man has a dark side, but take heart, Dear One, God most assuredly does not. 'God is light; in Hi there is no darkness at all.' (1 John 1: 5). Just in case you need to hear this, Beloved, you can rest assured that God is emotionally healthy. Never confuse God with man."
"Trying to fill a God-space with a human being will be painful at the very least, and destructive at the very worst."
"...I consider afresh how tangled my heartstrings are in the fabric of my children's lives. Seeing them show their love for one another is an unspeakable joy for me. No wonder Christ's heart cry to His own was 'love one another!' (John 13: 34)."
"Our society has proved we have no trouble beginning love. However, we are tragically deficient on enduring love and ending love well at the close of a lifetime."
"If we're me-centered in our business and personal lives, we'll be me-centered in our serving lives--no matter how hard we try to keep ourselves cloaked in humility."
"I have noticed a pattern in my relationship with God. Many times He told me through His Word and prayer to believe Him for something very specific, over time the outlook on the matter dwindled from good to slim to utterly impossible before He brought it to pass...He wants to make absolutely sure that we know He's the one who fulfills divine promises."
"But try not to think of God's perfection as His confinement--as if to say He can 'only' do what is perfect. Rather, God is free from the confinement of all imperfections. In other words, His perfection does not limit Him. It frees Him."
"Everything in us that cries out in resistance to an end comes from an innate sense that we were meant to be without one."
