Don't Rely On People | Joel Osteen

Are you relying on what others say or don’t say for your value? Are you frustrated today because you don’t have the support from others around you?
🛎Subscribe to receive weekly messages of hope, encouragement, and inspiration from Joel! bit.ly/JoelYTSub
One of the greatest lessons in life is to learn that your true value does not come from people; it comes from Almighty God. Yet many people today rely on the complements, encouragement and approval of others to feel good about themselves and stay motivated.
Paul said in Philippians 4:13, “I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency.” Let Joel show you who you are in Christ and how to go to Him for your value and self-worth. As you apply these biblical principles, not only will you live a more peaceful life, but your relationships will improve, too!

[@mariarusso826]

You love Jesus because He is knocking at the door of your heart brother... Please read the book of Revelation 3 verse 20 says.. Jesus stands at the door of your heart and knocks... , the handle is on your side only... Jesus knocks on your door and waits for you to invite Him into your heart to stay... JESUS is a thorough GENTLEMAN, HE WILL NEVER FORCE HIMSELF INTO OUR HEARTS.... HE IS THERE FOR US..... HE WANTS US TO INVITE HIM INTO OUR HEARTS AND MAKE HIM THE LORD AND SAVIOR OF OUR LIVES...ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS REPENT FROM OUR SINS... ASK JESUS TO FORGIVE US.... AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE DIED FOR US ON THE CROSS... THAT HE IS THE ONLY SAVIOR... TO WORSHIP... TRUST AND LOVE HIM TOTALLY... AMEN... JESUS IS LOVE... HALLELUJAH........ GOOGLE THE DEINTY OF JESUS CHRIST.... IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER AMEN.... BLESS YOUR HEART BROTHER...

[@debracolter4693]

I'm not religious but I Love Jesus and I was baptised into christain faith. I'm not able to go to church but I want to and when I do I will do it for God when I go to church it will be to worship our Lord and savior not going there to be with ppl who will talk bad about me because I'm not dressed like they are. Being baptised is an awesome feeling! You truly see the super Natural. You will see good from evil,,you will know rite from wrong! Love and hate God is the light God is Love. He will lift the Vail and let you see what is going on in your life. Bad things going on that you always blamed yourself for,God will he can change all of that. The closer I get to him the less I focus on my worries I can ignore and walk away from hurtful ppl and not feel bad about it. Because God gives me the authority to trample on evil.

The excitement I get from listening to you, while in the process of building my relationship with God is undeniable. I recently encounter a situation at school. This situation has brought me closer to God. I want to continue building my relationship with him. I've been in the dark for so long. I spent years worries about what others think of me because I was born with one harm. I used to find myself feeling discourage and worthless while failing to realized the loved God has for me. I'm excited, it took me a while and facing many tribulations but God has a way for showing you things and open your eyes. I can't wait to see what he has I store for me.
