I think that God gives you your own will and choices. I don't believe that we're supposed to drag ourselves through life defeated and not see God's blessings. But you have to make the right choices and follow that still, small voice within you. Because I think that's how God leads us.
Joel OsteenWhen I hear Mitt Romney say that he believes that Jesus is the Son of God, that He's the Christ, raised from the dead, that He's his savior - that's good enough for me.
Joel OsteenWhen you have a spirit of excellence, you do the right thing not because somebody is watching or making you do it; you do it because it's the right thing to do.
Joel OsteenIf you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. When you wake up, you can't just wait to see what kind of day you'll have. You have to decide what kind of day you'll have.
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.
