God is not obligated to anoint what He does not initiate.
Joyce Meyer

Change is always tough. Even for those who see themselves as agents of change, the process of starting a new thing can cause times of disorientation, uncertainty and insecurity.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We need to do what we can do and let God do what we cannot.
Joyce Meyer
Image
The Israelites' slavery in Egypt is the equivalent of our slavery to sin. God sent Moses to deliver them from bondage, and He sent Jesus Christ to set us free.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Is there any real purpose in being alive if all we are going to do is get up every day and live only for ourselves? Live your life to help others. Give & live selflessly.
Joyce Meyer
Image
The first step to forgiveness is the desire to do it, no matter how you feel toward the person who hurt you. Then you make the decision to do it which means it's a firm decision that won't change when your feelings change. The next step is to depend on the Holy Spirit to help you do what you've decided to do.

We're not like robots. God promises to guide us through the Holy Spirit, but He gives us the freedom to make our own decisions.
Joyce Meyer

Sadly, if we are not confident about our choices, we can easily let other peoples' comments make us feel guilty and ruin the joy we need to experience in life through doing the little things that mean a lot to us.

Learn how to enjoy where you are on the way to where you're going.
Joyce Meyer
Image
To know and experience what God can do, we must first realize and acknowledge what we cannot do. We must get our eyes off of ourselves and our limited ability, and totally onto Him and His infinite power.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make. Contentment does not mean that we never want to see change or improvement, but it does mean we can be happy where we are and will do the best we can with what we have. It also means we will maintain an attitude that allows us to enjoy the gift of life.

Your worst day with God is still better than your best day without Him.

Make happiness a habit. Be so happy you drive the devil stark-raving mad.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Give Him your mess and let it become your message.
Joyce Meyer
Image
My father was a mean, controlling and manipulative person for most of his life. He was unpredictable and unstable. As a result, the atmosphere of our home was super-charged with fear because you never knew if what you did would make him mad or not.
Joyce Meyer
Image
God wants to use you to make other people happy! And the happier you make others, the happier you will be because you reap what you sow.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We may not know what to do, but it is sufficient to know the One who knows. We all like specific direction however, when we don't have it, knowing God is faithful and ever true to His promise, and that He has promised to be with us always, is comforting and keeps us stable until His time is right to speak to us more specifically.

Life is what comes along after you have planned something else.
Joyce Meyer
Image
When you make a mistake and the devil comes and tells you 'You're no good,' you don't have to take on the guilt and condemnation he wants to put on you. No! You can immediately confess your mistake to God, thank Him for forgiving you and cleansing you with the blood of Jesus, and move forward in the victory of His grace and forgiveness.
