Victoria Osteen

She says, as I began to listen and listen to the messages, I began to regain a sense of who I was.

She said, I began to become encouraged again.

She said this that I thought was so good.

She said, I realized what I had been doing was I had been so focused and so attentive to what had happened to me that I wasn't understanding what was happening in me.

She said, I had been so hurt.

I had been so discredited.

I felt so all alone.

And what was happening to me was causing what was happening in me to totally destroy my life.

She said, I didn't want to do anything.

She said, and as I became encouraged, she said that discouragement left and hope rose.

She said, I literally got to the place where I could look myself in the mirror and like myself again.

She said, little by little, she said, I'd get up in the morning and I would look in the mirror and she would say, you were beautiful.

You are talented.

You are valuable.

She said, I began to have this fun person come back into my life, the person I really was.

And she said, I got so excited, I got encouraged to get up in the morning and look at myself and tell myself how well I was doing.

You see, I love that.

She added this, and I can't leave this out.

She said, and I would say to myself,

God is going to bring the right person across my path because I'm in the palm of His hand.
