Joel Oesteen

Times may be tough, but your faith will allow you to bend without breaking.

God wants to put a new song in your heart; He wants to fill you with hope.

You may feel that you are trapped in a rut, but there's hope! God wants to restore your sense of value.

The great news is that God knows everything about you, both good and bad, and He still loves you and values you unconditionally.

Even the great men and women of the Bible made mistakes. They all had shortcomings, but that didn't stop God from loving them.

God built value into us when He created us. To God, we are His ultimate creations.

Whether you realize it or not, right now God is moving you onward toward greater things.

The key to future success is to not be discouraged about your past or present while you are in the process of being "completed."

Throughout our lives, God is continually shaping and molding us into the people He wants us to be.

Don't be so hard on yourself!...God is not finished with you. He's in the process of changing you.

Don't allow another problem, another circumstance, or another person to keep you from giving God praise.

When you are most tempted to get discouraged, that's not the time to give up. You are closer than you think.

Whenever life grows difficult, and the pressure is turned up, that's a sign that your time is near.

Just say something like, “Father, I want to thank you that my payday is coming."

Take your dreams and the promises God has put in your heart, and every day declare that they will come to pass.

Don't let doubters ruin your optimistic spirit.

God wants us to be so full of hope, so full of expectancy, that we just can't help believing for the best.

You must get up each day knowing this could be the day you get the break you need.

You may be about to give up on a marriage, on a troubled child, on a lifelong goal. But God wants you to hold on.
