More quotes by Joel Osteen
You have to accept the fact that some people are never going to be for you. Treat them with respect, but you don’t need their approval to fulfill your destiny.
Joel Osteen
I'm not trying to follow a set of rules and stuff. I'm just living my life.
Joel Osteen
Our whole message is it's easy to just keep preaching to the church and people that already come.
Joel Osteen
You have to change on the inside before change will happen on the outside.
Joel Osteen
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
Don't pick on your sister when she's holding a baseball bat.
Joel Osteen
God loves to use ordinary people just like you and me, faults and all, to do extraordinary things.
Joel Osteen
If you are against yourself, you will never reach your highest potential. And when you criticize yourself, you're criticizing God.
Joel Osteen
So many people say, I just don't have a good job, or my marriage is not where it's supposed to be. Really it's excuse after excuse to not be happy. To me it's a waste. I'm going to look at what's right and not what's wrong in my life. I'm alive, I'm healthy, and you know, a good thing to remember is somebody's got it a lot worse than we do.
Joel Osteen
I think God gives every one of us our own will, and unfortunately, some people choose to do evil things with it.
Joel Osteen
The prerequisite to loving others is to love yourself. If you don't have a healthy respect for who you are, and if you don't learn to accept yourself faults and all, you will never be able to properly love other people.
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
You don't have to tell people what they're doing wrong. They already know. Your job is to love them.
Joel Osteen
Don't be so shortsighted that if it doesn't happen right now, you're not going to be happy. You are sowing seeds that will reap a great harvest for generations to come.
Joel Osteen
Maybe you once were excited about that person God supernaturally brought into your life as a marriage partner, but now all the excitement has worn off. Don’t’ allow that sense of a miracle to slip away. Don’t get so familiar with each other that you take one another for granted.
Joel Osteen
Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you're doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you.
Joel Osteen
I don't think it's that hard [to lead a Christian life]. To me it's fun. We have joy and happiness.
Joel Osteen
Sometimes what we think is a disappointment, is really God getting us in position to go to a new level.
Joel Osteen
I'm very careful about saying who would and wouldn't go to heaven. I don't know.
Joel Osteen
God's used me to help turn their life around or give them hope, you know? It's very rewarding
Joel Osteen
