“God never sought out perfect people, and he doesn’t expect us to be perfect people. Jacob was a cheater, David had an affair, Noah got drunk, Paul was a murderer, Jonah ran from God, Miriam was a gossip, Gideon was insecure, Mary was a worrier, Thomas was a doubter, Sarah was impatient, Elijah was moody, Moses stuttered, Zacharias was short, Abraham was old, and Lazarus was dead. Why can’t God use you?”
DON'T LET CLOSED DOORS DISCOURAGE YOU.
“You have to go through many “no’s” in life to get to yes. Closed doors come before the open doors. Several “no’s” in a row can be discouraging, but you must persist. 90 percent of first-time businesses fail. 90 percent of second businesses succeed. You may be only five “nos” away from your "yes."
“Persistent Janine Turner heard no over a 1000 times, but she kept pursuing. You can’t let the “no’s” discourage you. Yes is in your future. Edison failed on the lightbulb 2000 times. YOU AREN'T DEFINED BY YOUR PAST, YOU ARE PREPARED BY YOUR PAST.”
These inspiring words came from PASTOR JOEL OSTEEN
