God wants us to be totally dependent on Him, and suffering seems to bring us to that point.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I can't very well be teaching one way and living my life another way. What I do in life must be consistent with the things I say. And the same goes for you.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If you refuse to be happy until you have no problems or challenges, you will probably never be happy!
Joyce Meyer
Image
Instead of being critical of people in authority over you and envious of their position, be happy you're not responsible for everything they have to do. Instead of piling on complaints, thank them for what they do. Overwhelm them with encouragement and appreciation!
Joyce Meyer
Image
The truth is, if we don't learn to submit to authority, we won't ever learn to submit to God.

Don't let your feelings be a God to you.
Joyce Meyer

When we make progress quickly, it feeds our emotions. Then, when there's a period of waiting or we hit a plateau, we find out how committed we really are and whether we're going to see things through to the finish or quit.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Wisdom is doing now what you are going to be happy with later on
Joyce Meyer
Image
Things in themselves have no life in them. A car can't comfort or encourage you. A house means nothing if there's no life and love inside.
Joyce Meyer
Image
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.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Watch out for the joy-stealers: gossip, criticism, complaining, faultfinding, and a negative, judgmental attitude.
Joyce Meyer
Image
People always want to know how you know. And knowing in your heart is very hard to describe. I think so often, we're trying to understand something with our mind. But, actually, the Bible teaches us that much of what God does in our life will be difficult to understand with the mind.

Don't be afraid to step out, have dreams, have visions, have hopes and always, always, always believe in miracles.
