Why don't you start believing that no matter what you have or haven't done, that your best days are still out in front of you.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I believe God wants you to have money to pay your bills, send your kids to college and do charity work and build orphanages. There's the teaching that we're supposed to be poor to show that we're humble. I don't buy that. I think we're supposed to be leaders. We're supposed to excel.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I think a big test we all face in life on a regular basis is that discouragement test. Life's not always fair, but I believe if you keep doing the right thing, God will get you to where you are.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
When my dad founded our church, he used either a globe or a map of the world behind him. It was symbolic of what Christ said: to go forth and preach hope to the world. We believe in the cross, but we just continued with the globe.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
We think when God speaks to us, there's going to be a boom out of Heaven or we're going to get some chill bumps, but I really believe God's talking to us all the time. He's talking to us right in here. I call it our heart, our conscience, but it's the Holy Spirit talking to us.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I think faith is incredibly important because you will become overwhelmed with what's happening and you will have waves of grief, but when you turn to your faith, I believe God will give you waves of grace to get through it.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
God has already done everything He's going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you're going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
belI think that God gives you your own will and choices. I don't believe that we're supposed to drag ourselves through life defeated and not see God's blessings. But you have to make the right choices and follow that still, small voice within you. Because I think that's how God leads us.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
In difficult times, we're not supposed to quit believing; we're not supposed to quit growing.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I don't think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He's given you... but I think the scripture teaches us that we can pray for our dreams, pray for the big things... he's not a small God; this God is incredible.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I believe that God has put gifts and talents and ability on the inside of every one of us. When you develop that and you believe in yourself and you believe that you're a person of influence and a person of purpose, I believe you can rise up out of any situation.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Don't waste your energy trying to convince people to understand you. Your time is too valuable to try to prove yourself to people.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Don’t just accept whatever comes your way in life. You were born to win; you were born for greatness; you were created to be a champion in life.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Nothing in life has happened to you. It's happened for you. Every disappointment. Every wrong. Even every closed door has helped make you into who you are.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
God will always bring the right people into your life, but you have to let the wrong people walk away.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Start calling yourself healed, happy, whole, blessed, and prosperous. Stop talking to God about how big your mountains are, and start talking to your mountains about how big your God is!
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Don't settle in the land of barely enough. That is where you are, it is not who you are. That's your location, it's not your identity. No matter what it looks like, have an abundant mentality.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
The only difference between black coal and a precious diamond is the amount of pressure it endured.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
God wants you to have a good life, a life filled with love, joy, peace, and fulfillment. That doesn’t mean it will always be easy, but it does mean that it will always be good.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
God would not have put a dream in your heart if He had not already given you everything you need to fulfill it.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
To live your best life now, you must learn to trust God’s timing, you may not think He’s working, but you can be sure that right now, behind the scenes, God is arranging all the pieces to come together to work out His plan for your life.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Keep in mind, hurting people often hurt other people as a result of their own pain. If somebody is rude and inconsiderate, you can almost be certain that they have some unresolved issues inside. They have some major problems, anger, resentment, or some heartache they are trying to cope with or overcome. The last thing they need is for you to make matters worse by responding angrily.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
No matter how dark and gloomy it looks in your life right now, if you'll release the weight of those burdens, you will see the sun break forth.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Don't go into the new year holding a grudge from last year. Leave the hurts and disappointments behind.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
There is a winner in you. You were created to be successful, to accomplish your goals, to leave your mark on this generation. You have greatness in you. The key is to get it out.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
It may look like the difficulty is going to defeat you. But you need to keep telling yourself, "This sickness can't take my life." "This cancer can't defeat me." "No bad break, no disappointment, no accident can shorten one second of my divine destiny."
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Keep in mind, just because you don’t know the answer doesn’t mean that one does not exist. You simply haven’t discovered it yet.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Don't make excuses, don't blame the past. The rest of your life can be the best of your life!
Quote by -Joel Osteen
No matter what's happening, choose to be happy. Don't focus on what's wrong. Find something positive in your life. Thank God for the small things.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Love overlooks a person’s faults. That’s not always easy, but love believes the best in every person. Anybody can return evil for evil, but God wants His people to help heal wounded hearts.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
When you face adversity, you need to remind yourself that whatever is trying to defeat you could very well be what God will use to promote you.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
The more you talk about negative things in your life, the more you call them in. Speak victory not defeat.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
When you go through enough dark places, you don't complain about little things. You don't lose your joy because you got stuck in traffic; you don't get offended because a coworker was rude to you. You've been through too much to let that sour you.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
We may get knocked down on the outside, but the key to living in victory is to learn how to get up on the inside.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
You may think there is a lot wrong with you, but there is also a lot right with you.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Choose today to let the peace of Christ rule in your heart and have an attitude of gratitude toward the Lord. Even if you have things that are upsetting you, take a step of faith and begin to thank God for His goodness in your life. Thank Him for working behind the scenes on your behalf. As you do, you will walk forward into the life of blessing He has in store for you!
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Hard times may have held you down, but they will not last forever. When all is said and done, you will be increased.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Stones of judgment, discouragement or doubt may be thrown at you. You can't stop them, but you can make the choice to keep your walls up and not let them affect you.
