John Bunyan, author of the classic book the Pilgrimโs Progress, said โYou have not lived today until you have done something for someone who cannot pay you back.โ Make a decision that you will live to give. Be on the lookout each day for somebody you can bless. Donโtโ live for yourself; learn to give yourself away, and your life will make a difference.
Joel OsteenGod wants to use you in spite of your weaknesses. Of God chose to use perfect people only, Heโd have no one to use
Joel OsteenMy parents were the same in the pulpit as they were at home. I think that's where a lot of preachers' kids get off base sometimes. Because they don't see the same things at both places.
Joel OsteenIsn't it funny how babies laugh a lot? I read a toddler, a young child laughs 300 times a day. The average adult laughs, like, four times a day. God put it in them. He put the laugh in us, but I think sometimes we let life get us down, you know, have bad breaks, and we lose our breaks.
Joel OsteenThe Bible indicates that for three days, Jesus went into the very depths of hell. Right into the enemy's own territory. And He did battle with Satan face to face. Can you imagine what a show down that was? It was good vs. evil. Right vs. wrong. Holiness vs. filth. Here are the two most powerful forces in the universe have come together to do battle for the first time in history. But thank God. The Bible says, "Satan was no match for our Champion". This was no contest.
