The Gospel is called the good news. My message is a message of hope, that's God's [message] for you.
Joel OsteenThe bigger your obstacle, the bigger your future. Don't get discouraged, keep moving forward.
Joel OsteenDon't grow accustomed to living with less, doing less, and being less to the point that you eventually sit back and accept it.
Joel OsteenMaybe you once were excited about that person God supernaturally brought into your life as a marriage partner, but now all the excitement has worn off. Donโtโ allow that sense of a miracle to slip away. Donโt get so familiar with each other that you take one another for granted.
Joel OsteenWhen nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. When nobody else compliments you, then compliment yourself. It's not up to other people to keep you encouraged. It's up to you. Encouragement should come from the inside.
Joel OsteenI do think that religion has turned a lot of people off. Part of it is because it was all about the rules and was political. I think now people have a hunger for God, they want to have a relationship, but they don't want to be called religious. I'm not trying to get them to join my religion, I'm just trying to plant a seed of hope in their heart.
