Joel Osteen Up Quotations

When you give up yourself, that's when you will feel the true spirit of Christmas. And that's giving that's serving others and that's when you feel fulfilled.

Many times, we miss out on God's best because we give up too soon. We don't realize how close we are to victory.

It seems like when I was growing up there was more compromise, wanting to work with each other, and I think all of them - all of the lawmakers - have hearts to do what's right, and they all are passionate about it.

I believe God's keeping the records and I believe you will be rewarded even in this life; somehow, some way God will make it up to you.

Wake up every morning with a thankful attitude. Expect something good to happen in your life today.

If you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. When you wake up, you can't just wait to see what kind of day you'll have. You have to decide what kind of day you'll have.

The truth is we all get tired, we all get weary. In fact, if you never feel like giving up, then your dreams are too small. If you never feel like quitting, then you need to set some larger goals. When that pressure comes to get discouraged and to think about how you can’t take it anymore, that is completely normal. Every person feels that way at times.

If you start praising your wife, if you start telling her how beautiful she is, and how glad you are to have her in your life, when you talk about the good, you will draw out the good. If you talk about the negative, you'll draw out the negative. It's up to you.

When you're tempted to be upset, ask yourself 'Is this worth giving up my joy?'

Just because you’ve come to a dead end, it’s not time to give up. Find a different route and keep pressing forward.

No matter how many times you get knocked down, keep getting back up.

Keep believing. You may be tired, discouraged, but don't give up on your future.

If you never feel like giving up, then your dreams are too small

No matter how many times you get knocked down, keep getting back up. God sees your resolve. He sees your determination. And when you do everything you can do, that’s when God will step in and do what you can’t do.
