Now Over Next Quotes

“Less of us means only one thing: more of Jesus.”
― Hope Reagan Harris, Now Over Next: Conquering the Fear of Missing Out

“Like the butterfly, we can only cross over into the NEXT if we look at our life through the lens that God’s upside-down kingdom reveals to us. Just as the butterfly stays connected to the chrysalis when it first emerges, we can’t cross over into the NEXT and find our new way of living without staying connected to the Way Maker in the NOW. If a butterfly doesn’t have room to hang upside down on its chrysalis, it will have deformed wings for the rest of its life and it’ll never be able to fully cross over into its new life. The same is true for us. If we don’t make space for Jesus NOW, we won’t ever cross over into the NEXT thing He wants to do in and through us. We can’t be filled up by Jesus if we aren’t connected to Him.”

“We aren’t called to be the one who is seen. We are called to tell the world what we have seen God do in our lives. We aren’t called to be the one who is known. We are called to use our whole lives to make Him known.”

“Lord, You have blessed me in so many ways, and I know I lack nothing, but I am struggling with negative thoughts: my book sucks, no one wants to follow me, my nonprofit isn’t going to get off of the ground, and I’ll never get another book deal. I see these other people with access to money and a growing following. It feels like You are calling me to do these things and not giving me the resources I need to do them. What is Your will for my life? Forgive me of my selfishness and sin, please.”

“Jesus is the only way to experience true transformation—transformation that changes the heart from the inside out.”

“It was time to stop the striving. It was time to shift perspective. Jesus says in John 10:10 that the thief wants to “steal and kill and destroy” but Jesus came so that we “may have life and have it abundantly.” Have you ever become so busy trying to secure the next best thing that you end up missing out on the moment God has you in? I had become so afraid of “missing out” on achieving MORE, MORE, MORE that I had actually been missing out on the blessings God had already given me.”

“If God met me there, He will meet you there too. The fact that you are even thinking there might be a better approach to life is a GREAT start. This is the place where I started to get to know God by praying and reading my Bible. I learned very quickly that the process is a journey (which transforms us little by little each day), not a sprint.”
