If you spend your life trying to please people or letting them control you, you may make them happy, but you'll miss your destiny.
Joel OsteenIt is a hard thing to let go of mistakes we've made and sins. God wants us to do that because He knows the guilt and the condemnation will keep us from becoming who He has created us to be.
Joel OsteenLet's be the kind of people that do good for others whether we get paid back or not, whether they say thank you or not.
Joel OsteenAny of us can be happy and have a good attitude when everything is going our way. But I believe it's the real test of your character and of your faith to say, things are not going our way, but I'm still being good to people; I'm still attending church; I still have a good attitude. I think that's how you pass those tests.
Joel OsteenQuit worrying about how everything is going to turn out. Live one day at a time; better yet, make the most of this moment. Itโs good to have a big โ picture outlook, to set goals, to establish budgets and make plans, but if youโre always living in the future, youโre never really enjoying the present in the way God wants you to.
