God wants to help you. He wants to heal you, to free you, to increase you, to take you places that you’ve never dreamed. He’s longing to be good to you. Look to Him as your source.
You are marked by the hand of almighty God. He has placed His blessing on your life. What other people do cannot stop the blessing. It didn’t come from people; it came from your Father in heaven.
Sometimes what God has promised looks just the opposite of what we see. You can’t be moved by what you see; you have to be moved by what you know. Don’t let circumstances talk you out of what God spoke to you.
If you’ll be grateful where you are, then God can get you to where you want to be. You may have some big obstacles, people or circumstances coming against you, but you don’t have to go around worried. You can thank God that He’s fighting your battles.
@JoelOsteen The biggest reason we're unhappy is because we constantly compare our first chapter with someone's second and so on so forth. Comparison breeds envy & jealously. We don't know their full story. We know ours so write a better one.
Life isn't a tweet that you can't edit. It's okay.
It’s not the size of what you’re up against. What matters is what the Creator put in you. Don’t be intimidated by how big the opposition is. You have the favor of God.

God likes to do things far and beyond what we could ever accomplish on our own. If you can reach your dreams in your own talent, your own strength, your own effort, then you don’t need God.
1 Corinthians 13 says that love bears all things and that love believes the best about a person. This principle works for every person in your life. Choose to magnify the good in others and overlook the bad. Stay connected and watch how your relationships will improve.
Windows of grace don't stay open forever. There’s a limited time where God gives you an opportunity to rise higher. When you have the faith for it, that’s the time to act. Don’t talk yourself out of it; don’t make excuses.
@VictoriaOsteen If you only knew the gifts God has for you, then you would ask for living water. That means you would ask big, you would believe big. You would get rid of the guilt and get ready for something you haven’t seen
In all the things we face today, “we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37). Despite however you may feel to the contrary, God sees you in your wholeness and has declared and decreed that you are already more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus.
The pressure you may be facing isn’t going to break you; it’s going to make you. It’s going to develop you and give you the experiences you need to build your confidence. Honor God and believe you have what it takes to shine brightly for Him.
If the enemy can deceive you into going through life with no thirst, no passion, no zeal, thinking you’ve seen your best days, then he will keep you from your purpose. Don’t fall into that trap. Get thirsty again. Start dreaming again, start believing again, start hoping again.
