If 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 OsteenThat's my thing - keep filled with faith. Keep doing what you can do and I believe God will do what you can't do.
Joel OsteenI believe God wants you to have money to pay your bills, send your kids to college and do charity work and build orphanages. There's the teaching that we're supposed to be poor to show that we're humble. I don't buy that. I think we're supposed to be leaders. We're supposed to excel.
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.
