Sometimes I just sit still and enjoy God's presence.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Everything God ever asks you to do, even if it's difficult, He asks because He has something great in mind for you.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Each time we act to improve the life of another person, we send forth a ripple of hope in what appears to be a hopeless society.
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.
Joyce Meyer
Image
You are not hopeless. You are not helpless. Because there is a God who is alive and loves you!
Joyce Meyer
Image
Most of us have hoped and prayed for something to happen a certain way, but it didn't. And when this happened, we had a choice to make: to react with offense toward God or to trust Him anyway.
Joyce Meyer
Image
God's grace will never be available to you to become another person. He created to be you - the best you you can be! Forget about trying to be someone else.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We need to put no confidence in the arm of flesh, but rather trust ourselves entirely to the arm of the Lord.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We need a backbone, not a wishbone.
Joyce Meyer
Image
When I ask people to give, I can't be on television if they don't I can't help people, if I don't - I mean, it takes money.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I'm just telling you, God permits things in our lives sometimes for reasons that we do not understand yet because of the spiritual level that we're on. We can't have any understanding of it, because we're not at a place of spiritual growth yet where we understand the deeper things of God.
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
You can enjoy anything if you make up your mind to.
Joyce Meyer
Image
What do you do when disappointment comes? When it weighs on you like a rock, you can either let it press you down until you become discouraged, even devastated, or you can use it as a stepping-stone to better things.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Humility is the most beautiful virtue that we can develop.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I imagine that it saddens the heart of God when we murmur and complain, instead of being thankful after He's been so good to us.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I think there's more women that watch me than men, but I don't look at myself as just a minister to women. My ministry began that way, but I really feel like the Word of God is for everybody.
Joyce Meyer
Image
It isn't necessary to trust God when we have full understanding and knowledge of what He is doing on our behalf... Trust is needed in those times when, for whatever reason, we are not hearing from God as clearly as we would like.

Character isn't developed when we get what we want. Character is developed when we don't get what we want.
