Joel Osteen Way Quotations

Just because something didn't work out your way, or somebody disappointed you, that does not change who you are.

You'll never rise any higher than the way you see yourself.

No matter what comes your way, don't lose your joy.

The sad truth is, if you push hard enough, and if you’re so stubborn that you must have things your way, God will sometimes allow you to undertake a project without His blessing or at the wrong time. The problem with that, of course, is when you start something in your own strength and in your own timing, you’re going to have to finish it and maintain it in your own strength.

I'm getting better every day in every way.

You don't have to have a great gift for God to use it in a great way.

This is a day that God has given me. It's a gift. I can never relive this day. And I'm not going to live it angry, in unforgiveness, and mad at somebody. If I don't get my way, I'm going to believe that God's still in control.

Buying a share of a good business is better than buying a share of a bad business. One way to do this is to purchase a business that can invest its own money at high rates of return rather than purchasing a business that can only invest at lower ones. In other words, businesses that earn a high return on capital are better than businesses that earn a low return on capital.

God's way is better than your way. His plan is bigger than your plan. His dream for your life is more rewarding, more fulfilling, better than you've ever dreamed of. Now stay open and let God do it His way.

No matter what comes your way, shake it off and move forward. When you have a positive mindset, you can't be defeated.

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.

Don't think small when you pray. God has a way to bring your dreams to pass if you'll dare to be bold enough to ask.

Don’t talk about the way you are. Talk about the way you want to be.

Some things you can only learn in the struggle. When it's easy, when everything is going your way, that doesn't take any faith.

Change the way you speak about yourself and you can change your life.

You need to get ready because I have explosive blessings coming your way.

Difficult times don't come your way just so you can survive them; God uses these times in your life to form and refine you.

Your idea may not be exactly God's idea, but I can promise you this: God's way will be better than your way.

If your dream dies, dream another one. If things don't work out the way you've planned, God has a better plan for you.

When you release your faith in uncommon ways, youll see God do uncommon things.
