Only God can look at somebody's heart.

Salvation and Christ's love is a gift. You don't earn it. You've got to receive that gift.

The older I get, the better I understand that every day is a gift.

Gays are some of the nicest, kindest, most loving people in the world.

I think that God gives you your own will and choices. I don't believe that we're supposed to drag ourselves through life defeated and not see God's blessings. But you have to make the right choices and follow that still, small voice within you. Because I think that's how God leads us.

From Joel Osteen

Prospering just doesn't have to do with money.

From Joel Osteen

I think how you start the day many times determines what kind of day you're going to have.

From 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.

From Joel Osteen

Any of us can be happy and have a good attitude when everything is going our way. But I believe it's the real test of your character and of your faith to say, 'Things are not going our way, but I'm still being good to people; I'm still attending church; I still have a good attitude.'

From Joel Osteen

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.
