More quotes by Joel Osteen
No matter how many mistakes you've made in the past, or what sort of difficulties you struggle with now, you are destined to live in victory.
Joel Osteen
Some people keep God in a Sunday morning box and say, 'Hey, I did my religious duty.' That's fine, but the scripture says to pray without ceasing. And I think that means all through the day you're talking to God. Even if it's in your thoughts.
Joel Osteen
I'm trying to teach people how to live their everyday lives, and so I do focus on it, probably not as much as some people would like.
Joel Osteen
I want to challenge you today to get out of your comfort zone. You have so much incredible potential on the inside. God has put gifts and talents in you that you probably don't know anything about.
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
God's used me to help turn their life around or give them hope, you know? It's very rewarding
Joel Osteen
I didn't try to copy my dad or fit into the pressure or the mold that everybody tried to make me fit into.
Joel Osteen
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
To be happy in life... You've got to train your mind to see the good, to be grateful for what you have.
Joel Osteen
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.
Joel Osteen
We minister the Word of God. The proclamation of the Gospel comes after individuals have opened their hearts to God and turned from themselves to others. Only then are they truly ready to hear and benefit fully from the Word of the Lord.
Joel Osteen
Being successful doesn’t necessarily make you great. What makes you great is when you reach back and help somebody else become great.
Joel Osteen
Before you leave the house, you need to make up your mind that you’re going to stay positive and enjoy the day no matter what comes your way. You have to decide ahead of time.
Joel Osteen
You can be happy where you are.
Joel Osteen
Stones of judgment, discouragement or doubt may be thrown at you. You can't stop them, but you can make the choice to keep your walls up and not let them affect you.
Joel Osteen
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
When the negative thoughts come - and they will they come to all of us - it's not enough to just not dwell on it... You've got to replace it with a positive thought.
Joel Osteen
When I grew up, the Devil was a reason why I had a headache or the Devil was the reason I got mad today. We always blamed the Devil. I think today when I say the Enemy, I like to make it broader. Sometimes the Enemy can be our own thoughts.
Joel Osteen
My parents were the same in the pulpit as they were at home. I think that's where a lot of preachers' kids get off base sometimes. Because they don't see the same things at both places.
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
