I don't have it in my heart to condemn people. I'm here to encourage them. I see myself more as a coach, as a motivator to help them experience the life God has for us.

Certainly, none of us enjoy going through struggles, but you have to understand that your struggle may be an opportunity for advancement and promotion. The very thing you are fighting against so tenaciously may be the springboard that catapults you to a new level of excellence. Your challenges may become your greatest assets.
Joel Osteen
Image
God has destined you to soar. You have victory, freedom and excellence on the inside.

Be careful what you say. You can say something hurtful in ten seconds, but ten years later, the wounds are still there.
Joel Osteen

You don't have to tell people what they're doing wrong. They already know. Your job is to love them.

God doesn't ask you to figure it all out. He only asks you to believe.

To become a better you, you must be positive towards yourself, develop better relationships, embrace the place where you are.
Joel Osteen

When nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. When nobody else compliments you, then compliment yourself. It's not up to other people to keep you encouraged. It's up to you. Encouragement should come from the inside.

Selfishness is weakness. But loving and caring for others is a position of power beyond anything we can possibly imagine.

People respond when you tell them there is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.

I'm trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He's for them and has a purpose.

There are a lot of decisions we pass up on because we think, You know what? That's just going to build - you know, maybe that's going to build me and not build the ministry and what I'm trying to do. So we pass up on a lot of opportunities.

You're not RESPONSIBLE for somebody else's happiness. You're responsible for your own HAPPINESS.
Joel Osteen
Image
God doesn’t care what you’re not. He cares who you are. You are His, you come from the Master, and when He adds His extra to your ordinary and His super to your natural, nothing is impossible for you.
Joel Osteen
Image
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
Image
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.

Look for ways to be a blessing. Simple words of encouragement can brighten somebody’s day.

Salvation and Christ's love is a gift. You don't earn it. You've got to receive that gift. I think one of the most important things is starting off the day forgiving others and forgiving yourself. You learn from your mistakes, but I don't think you have to drag them back into today.

Instead of telling God how big your problems are, tell your problem how BIG your God is.

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
