Faith is all about trusting God even when you don't understand His plan.
Joel Osteen
Image
When you center life around yourself, not only do you miss out on God's best, but you rob other people of the joy and blessings that God wants to give them through you.
Joel Osteen
Image
So many people are looking at what's wrong, and I try to encourage them to look at what's right in their life. A lot of people have it a lot worse than you do.
Joel Osteen
Image
When you honor God, the storms may come, but you have a promise that others don’t have: When it’s all said and done, you’ll still be standing. You may suffer a setback, but don’t get discouraged. If you’ll stay in faith, God promises that when the smoke clears, when the dust settles, you won’t be the victim, you’ll be the victor.
Joel Osteen
Image
Selfishness is weakness. But loving and caring for others is a position of power beyond anything we can possibly imagine.
Joel Osteen
Image
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.
Joel Osteen
Image
I believe the scripture says that being gay is a sin.
Joel Osteen
Image
If you’re controlled by your circumstances, life is going to be a roller coaster with ups and downs. God wants you to be stable, consistent, not moved by any of these things. When you face an adversity, when you hit a tough time, one of the best things you can do is simply stay calm. Keep your peace.
Joel Osteen
Image
You've got to believe that God is in control of your life. It may be a tough time but you've got to believe that God has a reason for it and he's going to make everything good.
Joel Osteen
Image
Well I think a lot of times we're putting things off and I'm going to do it later. I'm going to break this bad habit or I'm going to pursue this dream or I'm going to treat my spouse better.
Joel Osteen
Image
Check your spiritual birth certificate, you were made in the mighty image of God.
Joel Osteen
Image
Sometimes we look at gay being a bigger sin than being proud or not telling the truth. I don't think God categorizes sins.
Joel Osteen
Image
You may have failed, but you are not a failure. That's what you did. That's not who you are.
Joel Osteen
Image
I'm not a big believer in trying to jam stuff down somebody's throat: 'You're going to do it my way.' I'd rather show by example and live my life and have people say, 'You know what, I want to live like Joel has. He's got peace and joy, and he seems content.'
Joel Osteen
Image
We can all control our own destiny. And I think sometimes it's a copout to say, Well, it's this person's fault or another person's fault.
Joel Osteen
Image
God is preparing you for greater things. He's going to take you further than you thought possible, so don't be surprised when He asks you to think better of yourself and to act accordingly.
Joel Osteen
Image
If you think you’re average, then you’ll be average. If you think you’re ordinary, then you’ll live ordinary. The truth is, there is nothing ordinary about you. You have something to offer that nobody else can offer.
Joel Osteen
Image
No matter how long it's been, no matter how impossible it looks, if you'll stay in faith, your time is coming.
Joel Osteen
Image
I deal with more practical issues of the Bible.
Joel Osteen
Image
Don't be intimidated by the size of your problem or the size of your dream. God will see to it that it is finished completely.
