If you feel "stuck" today, you may want to examine what you're holding on to. Be willing let go of past disappointments by choosing forgiveness. Who hurt you? Who wronged you? Release it to God. Do you need to forgive yourself? Do you need to receive God's forgiveness? Let go of the past so you can overcome disappointments and experience the bright future God has in store for you! There is freedom in forgetting!
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.
Joel OsteenJesus didn't go around condemning people. The Bible says it's the goodness of God that leads people to repentance.
Joel OsteenThis is a day that God has given me. It's a gift. I can never relive this day. And I'm not going to live it angry, in unforgiveness, and mad at somebody. If I don't get my way, I'm going to believe that God's still in control.
Joel OsteenIf you know you have to wait anyway, why not make a decision to enjoy your life while youโre waiting? Why not be happy while God is in the process of changing things? After all, thereโs nothing we can really do to make it happen any faster. We might as well relax and enjoy our lives, knowing that at the appointed time God is going to bring his plan to pass.
