Joel Osteen

Your job is not to judge. Your job is not to figure out if someone deserves something. Your job is to lift the fallen, to restore the broken, and to heal the hurting.

You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It wont happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, __ don__ care how hard this is, I don__ care how disappointed I am, I__ not going to let this get the best of me. I__ moving on with my life.

If you hold on to what you want so tightly, it almost becomes an idol.

Rewards await you if you stay steadfast in your faith.

Keep in mind, hurting people often hurt other people as a result of their own pain. If somebody is rude and inconsiderate, you can almost be certain that they have some unresolved issues inside. They have some major problems, anger, resentment, or some heartache they are trying to cope with or overcome. The last thing they need is for you to make matters worse by responding angrily.

What you keep before your eyes will affect you.

You were never created to live depressed, defeated, guilty, condemned, ashamed or unworthy. We were created to be victorious.

Satan knows, if you are against YOURSELF you will never fulfill your destiny. :(

It's our faith that activates the power of God.

Quit questioning God and start trusting Him!

One of the main reasons that we lose our enthusiasm in life is because we become ungrateful..we let what was once a miracle become common to us. We get so accustomed to his goodness it becomes a routine..

Don't waste your time trying to win people over that can never be won over.

I believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you're grateful, you'll see God open up new doors.

Jesus was saying that you can't have a larger life with restricted attitudes.

Because you have honored God, He will put you in a position you never could have attained on your own. It__ not just your education, not just your talent, or the family you come from. It__ the hand of God shifting you to a new level of your destiny.

I didn't try to copy my dad or fit into the pressure or the mold that everybody tried to make me fit into.

I made a decision when my father passed away that I was going to be who God made me to be and not try to preach like my father.

My dad had a church of 90 people when I was born. It was just, over the years it continued to grow.
