Grow Through It

Joel Osteen 77

We all go through things that are uncomfortable, things that we don't like. A coworker is getting on our nerves, a child is difficult to raise, a dream is taking longer than we thought.

It's easy to live frustrated, wondering why it's not changing. But I've learned you can't pray away everything that's uncomfortable.

We all go through things that are uncomfortable, things that we don't like. A coworker is getting on our nerves, a child is difficult to raise, a dream is taking longer than we thought.

It's easy to live frustrated, wondering why it's not changing. But I've learned you can't pray away everything that's uncomfortable. God uses difficulties, delays, inconveniences, to do a work in us.

If the situation is not changing, maybe God is using the situation to change you. He wouldn't have allowed it if he didn't have a purpose for it.


Don't just go through it, upset, bitter, offended, grow through it. That's an opportunity to get stronger, to develop your character, to build your spiritual muscles.

We don't grow so much in the good times; we grow in the difficult times.

Think the Way God Thinks

Joel Osteen
Begin today to think the way God thinks. The Bible says, “The path of the righteous grows brighter and brighter and brighter.” Think increase... Think big... Think expansive! Start expecting the unexpected and look at life through your eyes of faith.
God leads you through a progressive path, but the ultimate goal is to be on Mount Carmel and to be fruitful.

Wisdom in Building Up

T.D. Jakes
WE can build up ourselves, cultivate a sense of expectancy about the coming of the Lord, have compassion on those who have fallen, and be moved with zeal to make a difference in the lives of those who have spotted their garments.
In the depths of our spirit, we can learn to recognize that voice and distinguish it from all others

My Sheep Listen to My Voice

Chris Tiegreen
Jesus knows how confused we can be. That’s one of the reasons He gave His followers an illustration about shepherds and sheep. Sheep learn to recognize the voice of their shepherd so that when he calls to them.
Clearly, John wanted everyone to know Jesus was not merely a man. Jesus was the eternal, all-powerful God who existed before time, created everything, and gave life.

Jesus Lives and Creates

David R. Veerman
John and his brother James became two of Jesus’ original twelve disciples and, along with Peter, enjoyed a special relationship with Jesus. At times Jesus called just the three of them to see an important event, such as his Transfiguration.
To know that my name, according to Luke, is a matter of celestial conversation causes my mind to explode!

The Personal Tag

Rick Christian
To know that my name, according to Luke, is a matter of celestial conversation causes my mind to explode! Are you sure, Luke? My name recorded in God’s Book of Life? I suppose God could keep roll more efficiently by using my social security number or bank account number.
