God sometimes allows us to feel anger so we'll recognize when we're being mistreated. But even when we experience true injustices in our lives, we must not vent our anger in an improper way.
Joyce Meyer

God doesn't love me any more or less because I had some work done on my face. You know, I prayed about it a long, long, long, long, long time, because there again, I wouldn't want to do anything that I felt was going to be offensive to God.

You are not free until you have no need to impress anybody.
Joyce Meyer
Image
God doesn’t want us to live timid, shy, weak, wimpy, fearful, boring lives. He wants us to be bold, con dent and courageous, unafraid to try new things. And it never ceases to amaze me what God will do through a person who simply steps out in faith.
Joyce Meyer
Image
There is absolutely no power in our human effort to live holy. It is only by His grace. And the result of receiving grace is we get better at living like Christ, which is something we all want, right?
Joyce Meyer
Image
Until we accept and approve of ourselves, no amount of approval from others will keep us permanently secure.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If you can't learn to enjoy your life when you have problems, you may never enjoy it because we'll always have problems.
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
The only answer to fear is faith in God, knowing He loves you unconditionally and individually.
