No matter how many times you get knocked down, keep getting back up. God sees your resolve. He sees your determination. And when you do everything you can do, thatโs when God will step in and do what you canโt do.
Joel OsteenIf you want to know where you'll be five years from now, listen to what you're saying about yourself today.
Joel OsteenDon't waste your energy trying to convince people to understand you. Your time is too valuable to try to prove yourself to people.
Joel OsteenI always want to listen to people and receive good criticism, but I just don't have to answer to them; I have to answer to God.
Joel OsteenThatโs why it is important to enjoy the journey not just the destination. In this world, we will never arrive at a place where everything is perfect and we have no more challenges. As admirable as setting goals and reaching them maybe, you canโt get so focused on accomplishing your goals that you make the mistake of not enjoying where you are right now.
Joel OsteenYou may be sitting around waiting for God to change your circumstances. Then youโre going to be happy, then yourโre going to have a good attitude, then youโre going to give God praise. But God is waiting on you to get up on the inside. When you do your part, Heโll begin to change things and work supernaturally in your life.
