More quotes by Joel Osteen
Every setback is a setup for a comeback!
Joel Osteen
What you think is a setback, is really a set-up for a greater comeback!
Joel Osteen
Your idea may not be exactly God's idea, but I can promise you this: God's way will be better than your way.
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.
Joel Osteen
This is a day that God has given me. It's a gift. I can never relive this day. And I'm not going to live it angry, in unforgiveness, and mad at somebody. If I don't get my way, I'm going to believe that God's still in control.
Joel Osteen
There's pros and cons of a big church. Cons is I don't get to know everybody, I don't get to go to their ballgame, I don't get to marry everybody, but the pros are you get all this community, 800 ushers come in to serve, getting there at 7 in the morning on their day off and coming in on Saturday to make all those wafers.
Joel Osteen
You don't have to live up to anyone's expectations, just be the best you can be
Joel Osteen
Happiness is always a choice. You can't wait for circumstances to get better. You have to create your own good fortune. So look for ways to be happy every day.
Joel Osteen
I have always believed. I grew up, you know, my parents were a good Christian people. They showed us love in the home.
Joel Osteen
Again I think my gift is bringing hope to everybody, and I don't want someone to look at me and say, I would listen to him, I like what he's saying, but he's this or that politically and that turns me off.
Joel Osteen
I try to teach people that I believe God wants us to be positive toward ourselves, meaning that, you know what, I like the way I look, I like the way I sound, I'm happy with what I'm doing in my career - and not always be beating ourselves down.
Joel Osteen
See, when you drive home today, you've got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you've got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what's happened in your past is not near as important as what's in your future.
Joel Osteen
You were not created to just get by with an average, unrewarding, or unfulfilling life. God created you to leave your mark on this generation.
Joel Osteen
We have to remember, when we forgive we're not doing it just for the other person, we're doing it for our own good. When we hold on to unforgiveness and we live with grudges in our hearts, all we're doing is building walls of separation.
Joel Osteen
You must quit looking at what you don’t have and start believing that all things are possible.
Joel Osteen
You can take pride in yourself without comparing yourself to anybody else. If you run your race and be the best that you can be, then you can feel good about yourself.
Joel Osteen
You weren’t created to simply exist, to endure, or to go through the motions you were created to be really alive.
Joel Osteen
I've learned a simple principle: all I have to do is be the best 'me' that I can be. One day when I read the Scripture about David, that he fulfilled his purpose for his generation. I knew God spoke to me.
Joel Osteen
You can’t talk mediocrity and expect to have victory. You are prophesying your future. If you want a shift to occur, you’ve got to think positive.
Joel Osteen
Sometimes in life, a fog sets in and you don't know which way is the right direction. Every voice may tell you it's not going to happen, but God has placed a promise in your heart. Refuse to listen to those voices. Keep believing.
Joel Osteen
