You must forgive the people who hurt you so you can get out of prison. You'll never be free until you do. Let go of hose wrongs they've done to you. Get that bitterness out of your life. That's the only way you're going to truly be free. You will be amazed at what can happen in your life when you release all that poison.

Listen carefully to the words and tone of voice you use with your spouse. Are you complaining all the time and telling her what she's not doing right? Or are you doing like Solomon-blessing, encouraging, and uplifting that woman?
Joel Osteen
If we're going to bring out the best in people, we, too, need to sow seeds of encouragement.
Joel Osteen
I deal with more practical issues of the Bible.
Joel Osteen
I just think that trusting God means we're going to have unanswered questions, and God is so much bigger than us, we're never going to understand them all.
Joel Osteen
I see people - they won't be negative toward other people, but inside they're negative toward themselves, and I think that holds us back.
Joel Osteen
If youre alive and breathing, you can still become everything God has created you to be.
