Joel Osteen quotes about
Psalm 34 says, 'Those who trust in the Lord will never lack any good thing.' This means if you don't have it right now, you don't need it right now. Our attitude should be, 'I'm equipped, empowered and anointed for this moment. I am not lacking, shortchanged or inadequate. I have what I need for today.'
Just because something didn't work out your way, or somebody disappointed you, that does not change who you are.
If you want your life to get better, sometimes the best thing you can do is to help improve somebody else's life.
Stay focused, ignore the distractions, and you will accomplish your goals much faster.
You have greatness in you. The key is to get it out.
The truth is, somebody is always talking about you, so you have to let it go... if it's not a part of your God-given destiny.
A victor's mentality becomes a victor's reality.
Your idea may not be exactly God's idea, but I can promise you this: God's way will be better than your way.
Life begins each morning.
We keep a lot of humor and laughter in the home. A lot of times these days, people let the stress of life take the joy from the home. When you can laugh and you can have joy, that's very healthy. Victoria is easy going. She's very spontaneous and fun. I can hear her laughter all through the house. It sets the tone for the house. I like someone who can laugh. The second thing is respect. We just do our best. We don't always agree with each other but we make the decision that we want to treat each other with respect.
At times we're going to get angry. Anger is an emotion God built into us. But we don't have to blow up and say hurtful things that are going to damage our relationships. Learn to take a step back, collect your thoughts, and think about what you want to say.
If we will do our part and take a strong stand for our families, God will do His part. He'll help us to have great marriages and great relationships with our parents and children.
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.
Marriage is a commitment, not a feeling.
