I preach that anybody can improve their lives. I think God wants us to be prosperous. I think he wants us to be happy. To me, you need to have money to pay your bills. I think God wants us to send our kids to college. I think he wants us to be a blessing to other people. But I don't think I'd say God wants us to be rich. It's all relative, isn't it?
Joel OsteenThe Scripture says that God blesses where men walk in unity, so we just thought it's good for us to come together as Democrats, Republicans; believers, nonbelievers, all different walks of life and say hey, we are here to celebrate the goodness of God.
Joel OsteenGod didn't create any of us to be average. He didn't make us to barely get by. We were created to excel.
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.
Joel OsteenQuit worrying about how everything is going to turn out. Live one day at a time; better yet, make the most of this moment.
