Inspirational Quotes by Joel Osteen
“Escucha, no puedes dejar de vivir. Cree y sigue orando, pero no esperes hasta que esta oración sea contestada para hacer planes para tu vida. Eres demasiado valiosa. Tienes dones y talentos que Dios quiere que uses. No te quedes atascada. Levanta tu bandera de victoria. Busca lo que Dios está haciendo, y sigue viviendo”.”
“We draw in what we constantly think about. You can’t think defeat and have victory. You can’t think weak and have strength. You can’t think you're not able and accomplish your dreams. Your life is going to follow your thoughts.”
“Keep your mind on the positive. Think on things that are good, wholesome, uplifting. It’s not productive to think about something negative that was said about you, relive how that person walked away, rehearse all the pain & disappointment, go back over all the sorrow.”
“If you’re going to see the fullness of what God has for you, you have to learn to go from “I believe” to “I still believe.” Don’t give doubt the time of day. Keep your mind filled with faith and filled with hope.”
“Make up your mind that no matter what comes your way, no matter how difficult, no matter how unfair, you will do more than simply survive. You will thrive in spite of it.”
“If you let people discourage you, bad breaks talk you out of it, delays cause you to quit believing, then it’s going to keep you from God’s best.”
“There will always be dream stealers, naysayers, people that try to pull you down. They’ll try to pull you into intimidation, fear, limited thinking. Don’t take the bait. People are going to be amazed at where God takes you.”
“I think a big test we all face in life on a regular basis is that discouragement test. Life's not always fair, but I believe if you keep doing the right thing, God will get you to where you are.”
“When we run to Him with open arms, casting our cares aside, He will embrace us. By having simple, childlike faith, we don’t have to figure everything out. We don’t have to have all the answers. We just trust Him. Won’t you let that be you today?”
― Joel Osteen ,
from Hope for Today Bible
“You need to associate with people that inspire you, people that challenge you to rise higher, people that make you better. Don’t waste your valuable time with people that are not adding to your growth. Your destiny is too important.”
“God is still on the throne. He brought you through in the past; He'll bring you through again.”
“You can be the first. You can be the one to set a new standard. Don’t be moved by what you don’t see, by who’s against you. God being for you is more than the world being against you.”
“God’s ways are not our ways. Sometimes He doesn’t want you to know. It’s a test of your faith. Will you trust Him or will you live worried, stressed, wondering how it’s going to work out?”
“Do the hard thing. Keep being your best, keep thanking God, keep being good to people, keep declaring victory. When you do the hard thing, you set miracles into motion, angels go to work, good breaks come looking for you.”
“You're going to go through tough times - that's life. But I say, 'Nothing happens to you, it happens for you.' See the positive in negative events.”
“None of us likes difficulties. If we had a choice, we wouldn't go through them. But challenges prepare you for your future.”
“It may take a little time to see it come to pass, but it’s on the way. Don’t get talked out of it. Don’t let what’s not happening discourage you. Keep believing, keep thanking God, and you’re going to see what He has spoken over your life.”
