God never promised that we wouldnโt have challenges. In fact, He said just the opposite. His word says, โBe truly glad!...these trials are only to test your faith, to see whether or not it is strong and pureโฆโ so if your faith remains strong after being tried in the test tube of fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day of His return.
Joel OsteenPeople can call you many different things, but you are not what people call you. You are what you answer to.
Joel OsteenBeing successful doesnโt necessarily make you great. What makes you great is when you reach back and help somebody else become great.
Joel OsteenCertainly, none of us enjoy going through struggles, but you have to understand that your struggle may be an opportunity for advancement and promotion. The very thing you are fighting against so tenaciously may be the springboard that catapults you to a new level of excellence. Your challenges may become your greatest assets.
