I thoroughly enjoyed Jim Wiegand’s book Why is Greater than What as a guide to helping folks discover God’s purpose for their lives. Check out my full book review here.
These are a few of the quotes I found highlighter worthy. My Patreon supporters have access to all of the quotes I highlighted.
“Those who wait for a plan before they pursue their dreams will become little more than the sum of their average deeds. Those who live from their why change the world and those who are in it.”
“God has hidden many things from us. Some things are for another time. Some things we just could not understand. But God has not hidden your purpose from you. That’s not to say it’s an easy thing to discern at times. Although parts of you are yet unclear, God hasn’t hidden things from you; He’s hidden things for you.”
“When a person is in pain, he sees life through his pain. He fills in the blanks with his own insecurities and sees things that aren’t really there.”
“What bothers you? What is it you see in the world that you would change? What breaks your heart? What do you find yourself praying about more than any other thing? What subjects do people no longer want to talk to you about because you’re always talking about those things? Most often (maybe always) this is the first clue to your God-given why.”
“Sometimes pain is a good thing. Sometimes pain is even a God thing. The ones I truly pity, the ones I call the ‘living dead,’ are the ones who roam the land and live a life that ignores their pain, who never went, never risked, never obeyed what they knew was the right thing for them.”
“One of the biggest reasons dreams don’t come to pass is that we dream selfish dreams for things that have no eternal value. God is not obligated to move heaven and earth to make you happy. If you believe He is, perhaps you have created a god in your image to serve you. The One True God made you in His image to serve Him.”
