I didn't really understand the importance of little things. I didn't really understand that it was the little foxes that spoil the vine. And if we're not faithful in little things, that God will never be able to make us ruler over great things.
Joyce Meyer
Image
God wants to use you to make other people happy! And the happier you make others, the happier you will be because you reap what you sow.
Joyce Meyer
Image
As a Christian, instead of concentrating on how you feel, focus on what you know to be truth from the Word of God.
Joyce Meyer
Image
It's so easy to settle for less than God's best for us because we don't always feel like taking responsibility for our behavior or putting forth some effort to do what we need to do so we can accomplish great things for God and help people. But the cost of settling for less is actually harder than being completely obedient to God's will.
Joyce Meyer

You can look at a person's attitude and know what kind of thinking is prevalent in his life... It's better to be positive and wrong than negative and right!
Joyce Meyer
Image
Without joy in your life you are powerless.

Image
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.

I think happiness is a goal all of us can agree on. Let's face it - we all would like to be happy.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Don't mourn over your bad decisions. Just start overcoming them with good ones.
Joyce Meyer
Image
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.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Our enemy, the devil, wants to control us, and his target is our will. The main way he tries to influence our will is through lying to us.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Stop giving someone else the job of making you happy.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Nobody can ever say that being negative ever helped them at all - not in any way.
Joyce Meyer
Image
As a global society, we do not have to agree, endorse or condone the lifestyle choices of others. However, history has taught us that we equally cannot and should not excuse those who would hide behind religion or misuse God's word to justify bigotry and persecution.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Instead of concentrating on your problems and getting discouraged, focus on God and meditate on His promises for you. You may have fallen down, but you don't have to stay down. God is ready, willing and able to pick you up.
Joyce Meyer
Image
The absence of pain means death, so when something no longer bothers you, you've died to that thing.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Some people have a difficult time facing truth and reality. They prefer to live in a make-believe world, pretending that certain things aren't happening.
Joyce Meyer

Resist the need to be 'right' all the time or to always have the last word.
