Part of my weekly routine includes watching Joel on Sunday mornings. It often speaks to me and this morning was pulling me in big time. While the title is kind of strange, this episode lines up really well with our recovery I believe....
A brief summary from the video:
It's easy to judge others, but underneath the dirt, the mess and bad decisions, there's a son or a daughter of the Most High God. God is counting on us to represent His love and redemption to those in need. They may be bound on the outside, but like Lazarus, on the inside they're a person of destiny. They just need someone to help remove the grave clothes. Will you be that person? Take time to make a difference in the lives of those who desperately need it. As you live life as a healer, lifter and a restorer, the seeds you sow will come back to you. You will rise higher and overcome your own obstacles!

I, too, enjoy listening to Joel Osteen sometimes. I don't seek it out but I will watch if I stumble across him on TV. I will be sure to check the link out. Thank you for sharing.
