Quote

If someone decides they're not going to be happy, it's not your problem. You don't have to spend your time and energy trying to cheer up someone who has already decided to stay in a bad mood. Believe it or not, you can actually hurt people by playing into their self-pity.

Sometimes love is best expressed through service. Words are great, but when you walk in love, your commitment must be more than words.
Joyce Meyer

Sadly, the truth is, there aren't many people who can be put in high positions who won't start thinking highly of themselves.
Joyce Meyer
Image
As believers, our joy and peace are not based in doing and achieving, but in believing. Joy and peace come as a result of building our relationship with the Lord.

The thing about secrets is they keep you in a prison. Once you share, WHOOSH, there is a release.

The words you say could hurt or help you. Change Your Words, Change Your Life
Joyce Meyer

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.

Every day that goes by puts us closer to the day when Christ will return.

I firmly believe that usually, the person who hurt you doesn't realize what they've done or how much it hurt you. So, continue to pray for the person or situation that caused your pain and anger. Ask God to give you understanding about why they did what they did.

If you are facing a new challenge or being asked to do something that you have never done before don’t be afraid to step out. You have more capability than you think you do but you will never see it unless you place a demand on yourself for more.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Positive minds produce positive lives. Negative minds produce negative lives. Positive thoughts are always full of faith and hope. Negative thoughts are always full of fear and doubt.
Joyce Meyer

Faith means that you have peace even when you dont have all the answers.

Image
We can never make ourselves better by trying... praying more or longer, studying more of the Word, performing good works, etc. Don't get me wrong... it's not bad to do any of these things. In fact, it's good. It's just that doing them in God's power is the only way those things will have any real and lasting effect in our lives.
Joyce Meyer

Every time you look in the mirror remember that God created you and that everything He creates is beautiful and good!

Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may be given a cactus, but you don't have to sit on it.
Joyce Meyer

Freedom is not letting your yesterday affect your today.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Everywhere you look you see people searching for love but they're looking in the wrong places. God is love, and they will never find what they're looking for until they find Him.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Grace keeps us from worrying because worry deals with the past, while grace deals with the present and future.

The Bible says that Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. On the job, in the grocery store, even among unsaved friends and family members, God's people are there to bring seasoning to an unsavory situation.

When Jesus comes to live in our hearts, the seed of holiness is planted.

We all have two lives: an inner life and an outer life. Your inner life is your soul life, which includes your mind, will and emotions. Your outer life is your physical life. And while God cares about every detail of your life, He is more concerned with your inner life than your outer life.
