This Is Where People Grow

This Is Where People Grow

Do you know where people grow?

They grow where they are loved.

Shauna Niequist echoed this in her book Bread And Wine.

It’s common sense, if you think about it.

Understand: People want to feel at home.

To the extent that we can foster this warmth in our homes and churches and places of work, I believe, people will gladly stay.

People don’t grow where they’re planted; they grow where they’re loved. Knowing things about the Bible is terrific. But I’d trade in a dozen Bible studies for a bucket full of acceptance—and truth be told, so would everyone around us.

-Bob Goff, Everybody Always
