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.

Individuals need to be willing to face truth about their attitudes, behaviors, even what we want out of life.

We may not know what to do, but it is sufficient to know the One who knows. We all like specific direction however, when we don't have it, knowing God is faithful and ever true to His promise, and that He has promised to be with us always, is comforting and keeps us stable until His time is right to speak to us more specifically.

Compromise means to go just a little bit below what you know is right. It's just a little bit, but it's the little foxes that spoil the vine.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If selfishness is the key to being miserable, then selflessness must be the key to being happy!
Joyce Meyer
Image
People who pity themselves think, 'Why would I try to do anything? I'll just fail.'
Joyce Meyer

If you want to give the devil a nervous breakdown, just get up every day and see how much good you can do.
Joyce Meyer
Image
God doesn’t tell you to do hard things so He can stand back and laugh and watch you struggle. He tells you to do things the things that He knows are gonna work out to your good in the end.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I think we need to get smart enough to do what's going to help us and not just continue to do things that are going to hurt us. It's pretty easy to read something or hear about it in a message, but it's that personal application of that where it's just you, God, and your problems, that are going to give you the power to get stronger and stronger.
Joyce Meyer
Image
A relationship with Christ changes your heart. It's not about your head. It changes your heart. Jesus comes to live in your heart, and even if a person does good works, but they do them without Christ, most of the time, their motives are wrong for why they do them.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We often say God is never late, but generally He isn’t early either. Why? Because He uses times of waiting to stretch our faith in Him and to bring about change and growth in our lives.
Joyce Meyer

You can get over a broken past if you decide to believe that there's nothing in your past that can keep you from having a great future.
