Zitat des Tages von Victoria Osteen:
I spend my money like I don't have anything.
You need to love your life; you have to appreciate yourself.
Everybody can make a choice to be more positive. It's about who you hang around and what you choose to watch on TV. What environment you put yourself in. It's easy to get a negative internal dialogue. You have to be aware of what's playing in your mind.
I believe God put that desire inside of all of us so that we can evaluate ourselves in the light of His Word in order to become all that He created us to be.
Reality TV is to popular because it allows so many people to sit on the sidelines and just watch somebody else's life. God is saying, 'Don't sit on the sidelines of life. I have put so much in you, but you have got to be strong and very courageous. You have got to step out in faith.'
Do good 'cause God wants you to be happy. When you come to church, when you worship Him, you're not doing it for God, really. You're doing it for yourself because that's what makes God happy.
Bitterness and unforgiveness block the flow of God's blessing in your life and actually hinder your prayers.
Oftentimes, people stay where they are in life simply because of fear. But do you know that fear isn't reality? It's only a thought in your mind.
You may not be like everyone else, but that's okay. Be who God made you to be.
A lot of things we're supposed to do are hard to do, but we can do them. They're always beneficial. Really, some things that are hard are beneficial.
I just look at all the fruit and all the people's lives that are being changed and are being touched. And that's what we really focus on because we hear - every day we get mail, we visit with people, and their lives are being changed.
When things don't go our way, we get to choose how we will respond. We get to choose our perspective. Will you focus on what you didn't get, or what you did get?
I want to remind you today that the greatest Artist of all time created you. He dreamed about you long before you were born, before a single brushstroke of your life took place.
I think that we have a great opportunity to impart our wisdom and our knowledge and our experience to this younger generation. It may be different times, but experience transcends time, and wisdom transcends time.
Let me encourage you to get up every day and focus on what you do have in life. Be thankful for the blessings of the little things, even when you don't get what you expect.
You have seeds of greatness in you! I believe our lives as Christians should be the most exciting because we have the favor and blessings of God on our side!
God's not thinking about your mistakes, failures or shortcomings. No, His thoughts toward you are good.
As you keep your mind and heart focused in the right direction, approaching each day with faith and gratitude, I believe you will be empowered to live life to the fullest and enjoy the abundant life He has promised you!
God doesn't want us to merely sit around dreaming about things we can do and be. That's a good place to start, but a poor place to stop. God wants us to turn our dreams into action.
I love David's attitude in the Bible. He wasn't afraid to go against the trends. He wasn't going to be defined by the opinions of others.
I bake a chocolate cake from scratch every week.
One thing is certain: our families are important. Don't get so stressed out and so preoccupied that we neglect one of the greatest things that God has given us, and that's our families.
We talk a lot about hope, helping, and teamwork. Our whole message is that we are more powerful together.
As much as you may want to, you can't control what other people say or do; you can only control yourself.
In some families, parents don't read or don't have the money to spend on books.
Well, you can't argue with somebody that won't argue back.
Choosing forgiveness opens the door of your heart and makes way for a miracle in your life.
God's not complicated - He's really not. And He helps people in their everyday life so that they can get better in relationships, in their job situations, in getting through grief.
Even in the tough times, He's still a good God.
We want to encourage people. We want to help them. We want them to see all the good things God has placed in them and give them a right future.
We eat pretty healthy foods, and I've taught my kids since they were little about knocking out trans fats.
If we focus on loving others the way God does, scripture says that we will be fulfilling His whole law.
If you focus on the actions of others and allow them to constantly upset you, then you are handing your peace over to them and giving away your power.
You hold the keys of change within you. You be the change you want to see.
We have to be careful not to look for confidence in the acceptance of others because true confidence only comes from knowing God.
I think we could all do better sometimes of not overextending ourselves as much.
