I'm healthy as can be - not an ache or a pain. A lot of my prayer is thanking the Lord that I am healthy. I pray for long life and good health.
Joel Osteen -
It's easy to get negative because you get beat down. You go through a few disappointments and it's easy to stay in that negative frame of mind. Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is a whole cliche, but your attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.

You may never get to that perfect world that you're waiting for where everything's going to be perfect and you got that much money and your house paid off.
Joel Osteen -
Friend, there's no greater investment in life than in being a people builder. Relationships are more important than our accomplishments.
Joel Osteen -
Sometimes we look at gay being a bigger sin than being proud or not telling the truth. I don't think God categorizes sins.
Joel Osteen -
I'm not trying to follow a set of rules and stuff. I'm just living my life.
Joel Osteen -
I don't argue when people say that my message is simple, but I believe Jesus' message was simple. Jesus didn't go around condemning people.
Joel Osteen -
We need to show mercy. I mean, because as much mercy as you show people, that's the mercy you're going to be receiving.
Joel Osteen
-
You have enough people against you... be for yourself.
Joel Osteen -
You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.
Joel Osteen -
My friends and I had fun together, but I was more reserved, not at all the life of the party. I would just be the quiet one in the room.
Joel Osteen -
I don't mind saying, you know, that I don't take a salary from the church, and God has blessed me with more money than I could imagine from my books.
Joel Osteen -
I believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged - 'There's nothing good in my future' - I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there's an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.
Joel Osteen -
People define Christianity differently. I think a large portion of our population are Christians, they're not all growing in their faith, they're not all active, but I believe that a lot of people believe in Jesus and believe that he is their Lord and Savior.
Joel Osteen
-
You're not better than anybody else, but you're not less than anybody else. You're a child of the Most High God.
Joel Osteen -
Sometimes you need faith and victory spoken over your life. Words have created power. When you receive them into your spirit, they can ignite seeds of increase on the inside.
Joel Osteen -
I've always been - you know, my personality is motivating and encouraging. And so I'm just being who God made me to be.
Joel Osteen -
If Jesus were here today, he wouldn't be riding around on a donkey. He'd be taking a plane, he'd be using the media.
Joel Osteen -
My belief as a Christian is when we receive Christ as salvation, that that gives us a guarantee for Heaven.
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
-
I always try to put a seed of hope into people's hearts. I'm not there to teach them doctrine necessarily, but to let them know that God is a good God, and has a plan for their lives. Hopefully, that will restore their faith, or draw them into faith.
Joel Osteen -
You were not created to just get by with an average, unrewarding, or unfulfilling life. God created you to leave your mark on this generation.
Joel Osteen -
I try to look on all the great things God's done, and not focus on the negative. It's a perspective.
Joel Osteen -
The death of my father is probably the biggest thing that I ever faced. Daddy and I were best friends.
