Joel OsteenGod made us for more than just barely getting by. We weren't meant to sit on the sidelines of life because with God, we are on the winning team!
Joel OsteenPart of my message is that God never said that we weren't going to have difficulties, but you know what, He said to stay full of joy and I'm going to help you overcome.
