Inspiration from Joel Osteen

One of my besties, April forwarded me 'Today's Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen' this morning and it really spoke to my spirit so I thought I would share it! Enjoy and have a great day yall!

"So often, people allow the opinions of others to hold them back and
water down their dreams. We have to realize, there will always be
critics and naysayers in life. One of the most important things you can
learn is that other people don't have to believe in you in order for
your dreams to come to pass. Other people don't set the limits for your
life - you do. It's not what others say about you that affects your
life, but what you say and believe about yourself. In today's verse, the
apostle Paul is saying, "It doesn't matter if other people don't
believe. Their unbelief is not going to keep me from believing in my
dreams." When God puts a promise in your heart, it's not up to other
people to bring it to pass, it's up to you! You don't need everyone to
validate you. You have to follow the voice of God for yourself and allow
Him to order your steps.

Today, know that God sees the hidden treasures inside of you. He wants
to bring those treasures out and make your dreams reality. As you get
rid of the old, defeated thoughts and replace them with what God says
about you, you will remove the limits so you can live the abundant life
God has in store for you!"
