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

More quotes by Joyce Meyer
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
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
People who pity themselves think, 'Why would I try to do anything? I'll just fail.'
Joyce Meyer
You can either keep walking in misery or make the decision to begin taking steps out of it.
Joyce Meyer
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.
Joyce Meyer
Anytime we step out boldly to make changes, we take a chance that we might fail. But the only way to get better is to try.
Joyce Meyer
Many sophisticated, intelligent people lack wisdom and common sense.
Joyce Meyer
Complain and remain. Praise and be raised.
Joyce Meyer
The devil is no longer looking for an open door in your life. He will take any crack you give him.
Joyce Meyer
Learn how to enjoy where you are on the way to where you're going.
Joyce Meyer
Happiness is not a feeling, it is a choice. To be happy, one must choose to be happy, not respond to a circumstance that now controls your happiness.
Joyce Meyer
If you want to have sustained joy, you have to not only make sure that you think right, but you also have to make decisions now that are going to guarantee some joy in the future.
Joyce Meyer
You will never enjoy life if you do not enjoy yourself.
Joyce Meyer
Because my dad abused me, I was determined to never let a man tell me what to do. God clearly showed me that I needed to be a submissive wife if I wanted to be effective in ministry. The truth is, if we don't learn to submit to authority, we won't ever learn to submit to God.
Joyce Meyer
Don't wait for everything to be perfect before you decide to enjoy your life.
Joyce Meyer
Individuals need to be willing to face truth about their attitudes, behaviors, even what we want out of life.
Joyce Meyer
Nobody has a perfect life and it's entirely possible that if you want someone else's life they are busy wanting someone else's too–maybe even yours.
Joyce Meyer
Love listens to the other person and searches for clues on ways to serve, bless and lift up that person.
Joyce Meyer
Stop being tomented by everyone else's reaction to you.
Joyce Meyer
God's mercy is fresh and new every morning.
