Joel Osteen Quotes

Define yourself radically as one beloved by God.

Know today that God approves of you. He's pleased with you. He may not always be pleased with your choices or some of the things you do, but when God looks at you, He sees His amazing creation.

God will never reject you. Whether you accept Him is your decision.

When God loves you, what can be better than that?

God loves you unconditionally, as you are and not as you should be, because nobody is as they should be.

God didn't make a mistake when He made you. You need to see yourself as God sees you.

We have to be careful not to look for confidence in the acceptance of others because true confidence only comes from knowing God.

God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.

If Jesus was here, do you think Jesus would show me any love? Do you think Jesus would love me?

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 loves you and everything about you, so why beat up on your precious self?

God accepts us unconditionally, and in his view we are all precious and priceless. Focus on this and you will not waste any time and effort trying to be someone you're not.

You don't need to be accepted by everyone else to get reaccepted by the one who made you.

There is nothing you need to do to make yourself more acceptable to God. You don't have to work harder, nor do you need to change the kind of work you do. You don't have to give more money to charitable organizations. The reality is, God doesn't want you to give anyone anything if you only do it to impress God! God does not love you or find you acceptable because of anything that you do. God loves you and accepts you because you are a part of God.

God Never Compares You To Anyone Else. He Loves You As You Are.

We all get to choose where we set up the stage of our lives - before the Crowds, the Court, the Congregation, the Critics (inner or otherwise)-- or the Cross of Christ. All except One will assess your performance. Only One will accept you before your performance ... Only in Jesus is there 100% acceptance before even 1% performance.

Love is higher than the Highest. Love is greater than the Greatest. Yea, it is in a certain sense greater than God; while yet, in the highest sense of all, God is Love, and Love is God. Love being the highest principle is the virtue of all virtues; from whence they flow forth.

I believe Jesus Christ is God. I believe He loves every single human being that has ever lived, no matter what they have done, even if they don't believe in Him.

My trust in God flows out of the experience of his loving me, day in and day out, whether the day is stormy or fair, whether I'm sick or in good health, whether I'm in a state of grace or disgrace. He comes to me where I live and loves me as I am.

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... If you don't love yourself in the right way, you can't love your neighbour. You can't be as good as you are supposed to be.

I think I'm lovable. That's the gift God gave me. I don't do anything to be lovable. I have no control.

God comes first - if I don't love him, I can't love anybody, and if I can't love me I can't love nobody.

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 cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.
