I just think that trusting God means we're going to have unanswered questions, and God is so much bigger than us, we're never going to understand them all.
Joel Osteen

If you spend your life trying to please people or letting them control you, you may make them happy, but you'll miss your destiny.

Nothing in life has happened to you, it's happened FOR You!

At this very moment, God’s working behind the scenes in your life, arranging things in your favor. Stay in faith!

Understand that the enemy always fights the hardest when he knows you are closest to your breakthrough. He'd leave you alone if he thought you were going to live in mediocrity. If you keep pressing on toward your promise, through faith and patience, you will get there.

Image
You are full of potential. You are overflowing with creativity. There's nothing in your heart that you cannot accomplish.

People define Christianity differently. I think a large portion of our population are Christians, they're not all growing in their faith, they're not all active, but I believe that a lot of people believe in Jesus and believe that he is their Lord and Savior.

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.

People will try to label you not good enough, too slow, too old, too many mistakes. You can't stop negative comments or prevent negative labels, but you can choose to not let them hold you back.
Joel Osteen
Image
I'm not. I don't – I don't dislike anybody. Gays are some of the nicest, kindest, most loving people in the world. But my faith is based on what I believe the scripture says, and that's the way I read the Scripture.
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
I always want to listen to people and receive good criticism, but I just don't have to answer to them I have to answer to God.
Joel Osteen
Image
When you reach out to hurting people, that’s when God is going to make sure your needs are supplied. When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance.

Seeds of discouragement cannot take root in a grateful heart.

I think we use God's word. I think the principles that you hear Dr. Phil and some of those others talk about many times are right out of the Bible.
Joel Osteen
Image
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.

Ask God to give you the strength to endure, and rest assured, He will take care of you.

Sometimes what works 40 years ago doesn't work today.

Isn't it funny how babies laugh a lot? I read a toddler, a young child laughs 300 times a day. The average adult laughs, like, four times a day. God put it in them. He put the laugh in us, but I think sometimes we let life get us down, you know, have bad breaks, and we lose our breaks.

You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It wont happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me. I’m moving on with my life.
