A disagreement or incident involving someone who's not that important to you, like a guy who cut you off in traffic or a rude cashier, is something that should roll off your shoulders. Save the effort for resolving conflicts with the people you cherish.
Joel Osteen
When God puts love and compassion in your heart toward someone, He’s offering you an opportunity to make a difference in that person’s life. You must learn to follow that love. Don’t ignore it. Act on it. Somebody needs what you have.

Men, learn to speak blessings over your wife and you will see that woman rise to a new level. She will respond to your praise and encouragement. Your words don't have to be poetic, fancy, or profound. Tell her simply but sincerely, You're a great mother to our children. And you are a great wife to me. I'm so glad I can always count on you.
Joel Osteen
We have to realize that our lives could be gone in a moment. There are no guarantees that we will be here at this time next year. Learn to live each day to the fullest. Don't complain. Don't focus on what's wrong. Be grateful for the opportunity to experience each day.
Joel Osteen
Faith is about trusting God when you have unanswered questions.
Joel Osteen

Joel Osteen
Truth is, no two people are completely compatible. We have to learn to become one. That means we may have to make sacrifices we may have to overlook some things. We must be willing to compromise for the good of the relationship.
Joel Osteen
Faith doesn't always instantly deliver you, but it always carries you through.
Joel Osteen

Joel Osteen
Faith activates God - Fear activates the Enemy.
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
You are a person of destiny. You are not here by accident. There is no obstacle too big, no dream you can't accomplish.
Joel Osteen
Stop living worried & discouraged. You have a Protector, Deliverer & Dream-Giver. No weapon formed against you can prosper.
Joel Osteen
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
I don't go down the road of condemning.
Joel Osteen
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.
