Joel Osteen

Too often, because of disappointments, delays, things that haven’t worked out, we’ve watered down our dreams. We’ve lowered our expectations. We’re not stretching, believing for great things, believing to get well. Don’t shortchange yourself. “I’ll never get out of debt. God, just help me pay my bills. Our family will never be happy, just help us to get along.” No, pray bold prayers. God is going to fill the containers you bring Him. Are you putting limits on what God wants to do in your life? Are you focused on what you think can happen only in your ability? You’re looking at the natural, but God is supernatural. He controls the universe. He parts red seas. He brought water out of a rock. He fed thousands with two fish. Don’t base your containers on what you can do; base it on what God can do. @joel Osteen
