When you are tempted to get discouraged, remind yourself that according to Godโs word, your future is getting brighter; you are on your way to a new level of glory. You may think youโve got a long way to go, but you need to look back at how far youโve already come. You may not be everything you want to be but atleast you can thank God that youโre not what you used to be.
Joel OsteenEvery one of us has secret dreams and desires along with seeds of greatness implanted within us. You too have gifts to share with this world. There is buried treasure within you, waiting to be discovered. Your full potential has not been released yet. Your God-given divine destiny awaits you.
Joel OsteenYou were never created to live depressed, defeated, guilty, condemned, ashamed or unworthy. You were created to be victorious.
Joel OsteenGod never promised that we wouldnโt have challenges. In fact, He said just the opposite. His word says, โBe truly glad!...these trials are only to test your faith, to see whether or not it is strong and pureโฆโ so if your faith remains strong after being tried in the test tube of fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day of His return.
Joel OsteenThe sad truth is, if you push hard enough, and if youโre so stubborn that you must have things your way, God will sometimes allow you to undertake a project without His blessing or at the wrong time. The problem with that, of course, is when you start something in your own strength and in your own timing, youโre going to have to finish it and maintain it in your own strength.
