Joel Osteen never stops smiling
Re: Joel Osteen never stops smiling
Yes, Susan, Joel isn't at all like the One he presumes to represent:
“He was despised and rejected by people. He was a man of sorrows, familiar with suffering. He was despised like one from whom people turn their faces, and we didn't consider Him to be worth anything” (Isaiah 53:3 GW).
Or His servants:
2 Corinthians 6:4-10 KJV
(4) But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
(5) In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
(6) By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
(7) By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
(8) By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
(9) As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
(10) As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
