A lot of times, people feel that if they forgive the person who hurt them, then they will continue to take advantage of them or not take responsibility for what they did wrong.
Joyce Meyer

We often think more highly of ourselves than we ought to, and it's easy to judge others and be critical of their weaknesses and shortcomings. But this self-righteous attitude is a sin that we can be blinded to because we're so focused on what the other person did wrong. The reality is this attitude is worse than the wrong behavior we're judging.

Joyce Meyer
Image
When I read the Bible, I see that we should have victory in our life and be overcomers, and I can't even control my temper. I'm impatient. I'm hard to get along with. I'm selfish and self-centered, and I don't seem to have any control over it.

Love and Self-control are the bookends of the fruit of the Spirit. Remove one of them and the rest fall over
Joyce Meyer
Image

Patience is a fruit that only grows under trials.
Joyce Meyer

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 flesh, or human nature, is generally lazy and self-centered.
Joyce Meyer
Image
God never promised us a trouble-free life.
Joyce Meyer

Worry is a down payment on a problem you may never have
Joyce Meyer

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.
