If we continue to believe God and place our trust in Him, bad things ultimately give way to better things.
Joyce Meyer
Image
What we need to understand is that when traditions become laws, rules, obligations and expectations others put on us that we don't want to fulfill, then they lose real meaning and steal the joy from our lives. And if we're too religious, we won't be able to be led by the Holy Spirit and enjoy an intimate relationship with Him.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Patience is a fruit that only grows under trials.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Once I realized that right thinking is vital to victorious living, I got more serious about thinking about what I was thinking about, and choosing my thoughts carefully.
Joyce Meyer
Image
When discipline is sown, like a good seed, it yields a harvest of things that fulfill and satisfy us-things that make us happy and release peace and joy in our lives.
Joyce Meyer
Image
When you begin to worry, go find something to do. Get busy being a blessing to someone do something fruitful. Talking about your problem or sitting alone, thinking about it, does no good it serves only to make you miserable. Above all else, remember that worrying is totally useless. Worrying will not solve your problem.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We all face storms in life. Some are more difficult than others, but we all go through trials and tribulation. That's why we have the gift of faith.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If you look at your circumstances you will put off doing what God is telling you to do. It can seem like the worst time to do whatever God says to do. BUT there is an anointing on now if God has told you to act.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We will never enjoy life unless we make a quality decision to do so.
Joyce Meyer
Image
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.
Joyce Meyer
Image
God's grace justifies sinners, but it never justifies sin!
Joyce Meyer
Image
I've been saying for a couple of years now that people need to let God out of the Sunday morning box, that He doesn't want to just be with you for an hour or two on Sunday morning and then put back in His box to sit there until you have an emergency, but He wants to invade your Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Getting organized in the normal routines of life and finishing little projects you've started is an important first step toward realizing larger goals. If you can't get a handle on the small things, how will you ever get it together to focus on the big things?
Joyce Meyer
Image
People who don't know the true character of God - who don't believe He is merciful, gracious and slow to anger - can never have a close, personal, intimate relationship with Him.
Joyce Meyer
Image
One of the best gifts we can give ourselves is time alone with God.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Your fellowship with God flows freely when you're willing to forgive, but it gets blocked by unforgiveness.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Yes, God does expect us to live holy, consecrated lives. But not even the best of our intentions can make it happen. Thankfully, He doesn't expect us to make ourselves holy. He just wants us to learn to depend on Him to make us holy.
Joyce Meyer
Image
People often ask me how I keep my priorities straight in life and I tell them that it is done by constantly straightening them out!
Joyce Meyer
Image
Don't wait for everything to be perfect before you decide to enjoy your life.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Sometimes when you've had a long series of disappointing things happen, you can get into the very bad habit of just expecting more of what you've already had.
Joyce Meyer
