Quote

If someone you know makes a bad decision or uses bad judgment, it doesn't mean you have to allow that to alter your attitude. Why should you allow anyone else's bad decisions to send you into a tailspin of misery?

Whatever your situation, God wants to heal you, strengthen you, and lead you to a place where you can enjoy life again.
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
I wonder how many times people give up just before a breakthrough - when they are on the very brink of success.
Joyce Meyer
Image
When you're hurt very badly in your childhood, the area that it has the greatest effect on is relationships. Once you feel like you can't trust people, once you feel like that they don't care about you, that they're really not going to take care of you, it gets very difficult in relationships.
Joyce Meyer

If you're holding on to an offense, then you haven't forgiven the person who hurt you. Unforgiveness finds excuses to talk about what people have done to us, and we'll tell anyone who will listen. There's a difference between sharing your testimony to help someone and talking about what's been done to you because you are angry about it.

I want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you're a Christian you've got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. It's no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how many people do you know in a Western culture that's going to go, 'Yeah, give me some of that?'

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 can never make ourselves better by trying... praying more or longer, studying more of the Word, performing good works, etc. Don't get me wrong... it's not bad to do any of these things. In fact, it's good. It's just that doing them in God's power is the only way those things will have any real and lasting effect in our lives.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Helplessness is a place of power if you're helpless before God. Ask God for help in everything you do.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Patience is not just about waiting for something... it's about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Traditions are a common part of our lives. They can be good, and not all traditions are wrong, but sometimes they can take the joy out of life.

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.

Your value should not be determined by how somebody else has treated you.
Joyce Meyer

You're so caught up in grumbling, complaining, and seeing what's wrong that you have no energy or time to appreciate what's good.

The words you say could hurt or help you. Change Your Words, Change Your Life

It is sad that today many times people give up in the hard times and never get to enjoy the fruit of all their labor.

Stop labeling people just because they're not like you.
Joyce Meyer

Even though God loves us, we still have a problem: sin. It's important for us to learn how to confront sin and overcome it, because while God loves sinners, He hates sin. And He hates it because of what it does to us and how it keeps us from the abundant life Jesus died to give us.

I am not promising that God will give you everything you want. There are times when we want things that God knows would not be good for us.

Positive minds full of faith and hope produce positive lives.
