Let me encourage you to get up every day and focus on what you do have in life. Be thankful for the blessings of the little things, even when you don’t get what you expect.
Victoria Osteen
As you keep your mind and heart focused in the right direction, approaching each day with faith and gratitude, I believe you will be empowered to live life to the fullest and enjoy the abundant life He has promised you!
Victoria Osteen
Bitterness and unforgiveness block the flow of God’s blessing in your life and actually hinder your prayers.
Victoria Osteen
We talk a lot about hope, helping, and teamwork. Our whole message is that we are more powerful together.
Victoria Osteen
Choose to be kind. Choose to forgive. Let your love grow and shine so that people may look at the example of your life and glorify God in Heaven.
Victoria Osteen
Even in the tough times, He’s still a good God.
Victoria Osteen
It’s amazing what you’ll discover if you start exploring what God has placed within you.
Victoria Osteen
I’ve learned in my life that things change. Seasons changes, times change. We take different jobs. Our children grow. So, we have to study the people in our lives and adapt to them, because when we do that, we get more out of our relationships.
Victoria Osteen
Our relationships are precious, valuable treasures from heaven, and we should handle them carefully, always looking for ways to build bridges to each other’s hearts.
Victoria Osteen
You are God’s own masterpiece! That means you are not ordinary or average; you are a one-of-a-kind original.

You are God’s own masterpiece! That means you are not ordinary or average; you are a one-of-a-kind original.
Victoria Osteen
It’s important to recognize that forgiveness is more than mere words; it’s a heart attitude that induces a spiritual transformation.
Victoria Osteen
Our life ripples out, and it has influence. That’s why it’s important that we’re at our best and that we’re influencing others for the good.
Victoria Osteen
Choosing forgiveness opens the door of your heart and makes way for a miracle in your life.
Victoria Osteen
Don’t look for approval in what everyone else is doing; look for approval from Almighty God.
Victoria Osteen
You matter to God, and every detail of your life matters to Him.
Victoria Osteen
You have to make time and tend to things that are important in your life so you can live the life of blessing God has promised you!
Victoria Osteen
It’s no secret that in our society, and many before, people are trend followers. For some reason, they feel better about themselves if they are dressed in the latest fashion or have the newest tech gadget.
Victoria Osteen
You may have made some mistakes, but just like a parent helps their child when they are learning to walk, God will help you get right back up anytime you fall.
Victoria Osteen
Reality TV is to popular because it allows so many people to sit on the sidelines and just watch somebody else’s life. God is saying, ‘Don’t sit on the sidelines of life. I have put so much in you, but you have got to be strong and very courageous. You have got to step out in faith.’
Victoria Osteen
At the end of day, what matters most to God, what moves His heart, isn’t our fancy words and impressive possessions – it’s the condition of our hearts.
Victoria Osteen
You know what, my faith is like this – when I die, I’m going to live with God forever and ever. But I believe He wants us to have a good life here on Earth.
Victoria Osteen
Just because you have a disagreement with your friends or family members does not mean there are not plenty of other areas on which you see eye to eye. It just means you have a difference of opinion.
Victoria Osteen
I think when you have an optimistic attitude, and you believe that God is guiding you, that you will find the good things in your life and that you will lead to good relationships and good people in your life. And you can make the most of what he’s given you.
Victoria Osteen
God doesn’t want us to merely sit around dreaming about things we can do and be. That’s a good place to start, but a poor place to stop. God wants us to turn our dreams into action.
Victoria Osteen
I think that we have a great opportunity to impart our wisdom and our knowledge and our experience to this younger generation. It may be different times, but experience transcends time, and wisdom transcends time.
Victoria Osteen
Let me encourage you, if someone has wronged you, and you still get that cringing feeling on the inside when you see or think about that person, take it to God and allow Him to keep your heart soft and sensitive.
Victoria Osteen
I believe that God wants us to show respect.
Victoria Osteen
I just think that is so important to keep a strong support system, to keep yourself encouraged.
Victoria Osteen
With His love, you can wake up every day with an attitude of faith and expectancy.
Victoria Osteen
I bake a chocolate cake from scratch every week.
Victoria Osteen
If you focus on the actions of others and allow them to constantly upset you, then you are handing your peace over to them and giving away your power.
Victoria Osteen
Sometimes God presents opportunities that look insignificant or rather ordinary. Perhaps you don’t see how they fit into the big picture for your life. But if God is asking you to do something, He has a purpose for it.
Victoria Osteen
Imagine Him smiling down on you right now. Embrace His love. Remember, you are His most prized possession, the apple of His eye!
Victoria Osteen
We try to keep a good line of communication open with our children. It’s not always about trying to just teach them every moment, but it’s about listening to them and trying to understand them and gain that sense of communication so when they need to talk to someone, they know that we’re there.
Victoria Osteen
You hold the keys of change within you. You be the change you want to see.
Victoria Osteen
We know what we are supposed to do and we don’t want to do it, so we do the exact opposite anyway. And, it never goes well for us when we do that.
Victoria Osteen
God’s Word is alive and powerful! When you declare these words over your life, the truth of God’s Word draws forth the seeds of love that God deposits into us when we invite Jesus to be our Lord and Savior.
Victoria Osteen
Children are our future, and God loves the children.
Victoria Osteen
It’s hard to argue with someone that won’t argue with you.
Victoria Osteen
We have to be careful not to look for confidence in the acceptance of others because true confidence only comes from knowing God.
Victoria Osteen
We are God’s creation, and we have a responsibility to keep ourselves at our best.
Victoria Osteen
Well, you can’t argue with somebody that won’t argue back.
Victoria Osteen
Children touch all of our lives. We all have the opportunity to sow seeds into the next generation, and there’s nothing more important that we can leave on this earth than a legacy of faith, hope, and confidence in our God.
Victoria Osteen
Everybody can make a choice to be more positive. It’s about who you hang around and what you choose to watch on TV. What environment you put yourself in. It’s easy to get a negative internal dialogue. You have to be aware of what’s playing in your mind.
Victoria Osteen
Remember, if you want to love your life and live it to the fullest, don’t let the sun go down on your anger. If you don’t have a solution to the issue, agree to disagree and focus on the importance of the relationship.
Victoria Osteen
Do good ’cause God wants you to be happy. When you come to church, when you worship Him, you’re not doing it for God, really. You’re doing it for yourself because that’s what makes God happy.
Victoria Osteen
If you’re not careful, you can fall into a destructive cycle of self-pity.
Victoria Osteen
God has given us all wonderful unique gifts and talents to use to glorify and celebrate Him.
Victoria Osteen
There are a lot of times that we feel like our hands are tied – ‘I have no control over if I’m going to lose my job.’ ‘I have no control over if I’m going to be able to pay my bills.’ You’ve got to realize that that’s where your trust comes in. You have to trust God, and keep your hope, because your hope is what produces your faith.
Victoria Osteen
When we obey God, we’re not doing it for God… we’re doing it for ourself. Because God takes pleasure when we’re happy.
Victoria Osteen
If you’re not a parent, if you’re an aunt or uncle or neighbor, books are an amazing gift.
Victoria Osteen
When things don’t go our way, we get to choose how we will respond. We get to choose our perspective. Will you focus on what you didn’t get, or what you did get?

Victoria Osteen
I try to listen to my children. I try to change with my children.
Victoria Osteen
Well, I – you know, the scripture says that God works by faith. And you have to have faith. You have to have trust in God so that God can work.
Victoria Osteen
As women, we’re nurturers by nature. We want to make sure everyone is happy. That’s a good thing, but we also have to put ourselves on that happiness list.
Victoria Osteen
A lot of times we see choices in front of us, and we limit ourselves by what we see. God wants us to see His way of doing things. And His way is always greater than our ways.
Victoria Osteen
I think money helps us. It helps us. It’s our – it’s our exchange system. But it does not buy you happiness. It doesn’t buy you health.
Victoria Osteen
I have fabulous children.
Victoria Osteen
I spend my money like I don’t have anything.
Victoria Osteen
I’d love my children no matter what.
Victoria Osteen
We should celebrate Christmas throughout the year, but I believe the whole concept of giving was the basis of Christmas, that it was a charitable, you know, giving, and I think we got carried away with giving.
Victoria Osteen
I don’t question God.
Victoria Osteen
In fact, we have a choice of freedom of heart to follow God.
Victoria Osteen
When you use your faith, it gives you energy. It gives you the ability to be able to see beyond where you are right now and see into the future.
Victoria Osteen
I know when I get down and discouraged, it’s hard for me to be able to just see anything except for right where I am.
Victoria Osteen
Well, you know, I just – I believe marriage should between a man and a woman.
Victoria Osteen
One thing is certain: our families are important. Don’t get so stressed out and so preoccupied that we neglect one of the greatest things that God has given us, and that’s our families.
Victoria Osteen
A lot of things we’re supposed to do are hard to do, but we can do them. They’re always beneficial. Really, some things that are hard are beneficial.
Victoria Osteen
God’s not complicated – He’s really not. And He helps people in their everyday life so that they can get better in relationships, in their job situations, in getting through grief.
Victoria Osteen
You may not be like everyone else, but that’s okay. Be who God made you to be.
Victoria Osteen
The challenges are gonna go, and your children are gonna grow, so try to enjoy this moment, and try to look at what’s good, and be grateful for what you have because you will see better days.
Victoria Osteen
You need to love your life; you have to appreciate yourself.
Victoria Osteen
We want to encourage people. We want to help them. We want them to see all the good things God has placed in them and give them a right future.
Victoria Osteen
When we tend to the areas of life that are important to us, when we make those things a priority, that’s when we will flourish in those areas.
Victoria Osteen
Remember, the choices we make today shape the people we become tomorrow.
Victoria Osteen
If you just can’t seem to get ahead, you might need to check your priorities. If you’ve had difficulties setting your priorities, ask God to help you.
Victoria Osteen
The thing is, God has already seen every twist and turn of your life. He already knows what’s in your heart. He already knows the decisions you’ve made. He’s just waiting for you to call on Him and be honest with Him like Jonah was.
Victoria Osteen
We eat pretty healthy foods, and I’ve taught my kids since they were little about knocking out trans fats.
Victoria Osteen
In our family health, it’s about having a balanced life, about laughing and staying on a positive note.
Victoria Osteen
In some families, parents don’t read or don’t have the money to spend on books.
Victoria Osteen
Relationships are people’s No. 1 priorities. They want to have good relationships, and a lot of times they don’t.
Victoria Osteen
Books are such a great way to spend time with your children, open lines of communication with your children, and just build that strong foundation.
Victoria Osteen
I think we could all do better sometimes of not overextending ourselves as much.
Victoria Osteen
I read to my children, and now they love to read. I encourage parents to carve out just 20 minutes a day. It helps you learn more about them, and really opens the door for you to speak into their life!
Victoria Osteen
It is my desire to break the destructive generational cycle of illiteracy in the home by focusing on the children. Reading to your child has so much value as a parent because it opens the lines of communication.
Victoria Osteen
I just look at all the fruit and all the people’s lives that are being changed and are being touched. And that’s what we really focus on because we hear – every day we get mail, we visit with people, and their lives are being changed.
Victoria Osteen
The truth is we just have a normal life, because we do have a church where our children are growing up pastor’s children. And we just try to keep it really normal.
Victoria Osteen
I believe God put that desire inside of all of us so that we can evaluate ourselves in the light of His Word in order to become all that He created us to be.
Victoria Osteen
If we focus on loving others the way God does, scripture says that we will be fulfilling His whole law.
Victoria Osteen
Life doesn’t always give us what we are expecting.
Victoria Osteen
God’s not thinking about your mistakes, failures or shortcomings. No, His thoughts toward you are good.
Victoria Osteen
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.
Victoria Osteen
God values you simply because He created you. You are precious to Him, and your value will never change.
Victoria Osteen
When God created you, He went to great lengths to make you exactly the way He wanted you to be. You are His ultimate work of art.
Victoria Osteen
I want to remind you today that the greatest Artist of all time created you. He dreamed about you long before you were born, before a single brushstroke of your life took place.
Victoria Osteen
We only have a certain amount of energy for each day. If we use it for the wrong purpose, if we focus on the negative or dwell on whoever hurt us, then we’re not going to have the energy we need for the right purposes.
Victoria Osteen
As much as you may want to, you can’t control what other people say or do; you can only control yourself.
Victoria Osteen
I am unable to give my best if I don’t have my best to give.
Victoria Osteen
We have to take care of ourselves if we are going to take care of anyone else properly.
