More quotes by Joel Osteen
It may look impossible, but God can do the impossible. Just because you don’t see anything happening doesn’t mean God is not working
Joel Osteen
That's what I feel like I'm called to do - to plant a seed of hope in people's hearts.
Joel Osteen
There's probably a balance between. I believe you have to know Christ. But I think that if you know Christ, if you're a believer in God, you're going to have some good works.
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
If you never feel like giving up, then your dreams are too small
Joel Osteen
We are set in our ways, bound by our perspectives and stuck in our thinking.
Joel Osteen
We live in a society that likes to kick people when they’re down. Don’t be a fair-weather friend. Stick with people. They need you more in the tough times than they do in the good times.
Joel Osteen
I realize that as quick as you go up, you can really come down that quick. And we've seen it happen with others.
Joel Osteen
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.
Joel Osteen
Shake off the self-pity, shake off the defeat and get ready for God to do something new. He is going to pay you back for every injustice.
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
Too often we judge people based on our own backgrounds and experiences, but when you understand people's stories, it's easier to understand their demeanor.
Joel Osteen
Whether a person is straight or gay, Republican, Democrat, good person, not a good person, they're all welcome, because to me, church is a place you're supposed to get healed and whole and loved.
Joel Osteen
I don't believe we are supposed to go through life defeated and not having enough money to pay our bills or send our kids to college.
Joel Osteen
When things gets difficult, and it seems like the intensity has been turned up, that’s a sign you are close to your victory.
Joel Osteen
I don't have all the answers.
Joel Osteen
You were created to make somebody else’s life better. Somebody needs your smile. They need your love, your encouragement & your gifts.
Joel Osteen
Don't confuse small with insignificant.
Joel Osteen
You may think you’re getting the short end of the stick, but when it’s all said and done, God will make sure that you don’t lose anything truly valuable. Moreover, He’ll make sure you get your just reward. Your responsibility is to remain calm and peaceable even when those around you are not.
Joel Osteen
Difficult times don't come your way just so you can survive them God uses these times in your life to form and refine you.
