Joel Osteen Quotes

Define yourself radically as one beloved by God.

God made me the way I am, and I accept myself. I am who I am, and I'm proud of myself.

I think that anything that begins to give people a sense of their own worth and dignity is God.

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.

Spiritual identity means we are not what we do or what people say about us. And we are not what we have. We are the beloved daughters and sons of God.

Don't ever criticize yourself. Don't go around all day long thinking, 'I'm unattractive, I'm slow, I'm not as smart as my brother.' God wasn't having a bad day when he made you...

Allowing myself to love God completely has obviously shed light on my self-love because he loves me more than I could ever love myself.

God made you a masterpiece - be blessed, secure, disciplined and equipped.

It doesn't matter who likes you or doesn't like you, all that matters is that God likes you. He accepts you, he approves of you.

Whatever God or whatever higher power you believe in, they brought us to this earth in a perfect way, and you have to learn to love yourself. Otherwise, it's an exhausting way to be.

You may not be like everyone else, but that's okay. Be who God made you to be.

I've never wanted to be anyone other than who I am.

When everyone is telling you, 'You're so beautiful, there's nobody like you,' you begin to think it's true. But of course there is nobody like you.

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.

I don't want to be taller; I want to be myself.

Thank God I'm very satisfied with the way God created me, and I wouldn't change a thing.

I remember growing up and feeling all the time not pretty enough, too rude, too loud, taking too much space because precisely I wanted to maybe be bossy and loud and unapologetic and not really smooth all the time, and those were not really qualities that were valued for me.

The last thing I want to think of myself as is anything different.

Life events will not define who you are. God says who you are.

I think I'm happy with who I am. I don't know if I learned that from other girls or just people in general.
