More quotes by Joyce Meyer
If you are accused of being a Christian, there should be enough evidence to convict you.
Joyce Meyer
Why wouldn’t we run to God. He’s sooo good. God’s not mad at anybody. He just wants to help us be the best that we can be.
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
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
You would be better off having nobody than the wrong somebody. (On marrying for the wrong reasons.)
Joyce Meyer
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
Today we are going to talk about words. You know, words are containers for power. They carry creative or destructive power. They carry positive or negative power. We can choose our words and we should do it carefully.
Joyce Meyer
No matter what's going on in our lives, the victory is in refusing to quit.
Joyce Meyer
Sowing and reaping is a spiritual law...Sow generously and you will reap generously.
Joyce Meyer
The biggest thing I have to keep in mind is balance. I have certain times and days that I dedicate to certain responsibilities. It is very important to not become unbalanced in an area, spending too much time in one area and not another.
Joyce Meyer
What's real freedom? Real freedom is being able to not have my way and still be just as happy as if I did.
Joyce Meyer
I imagine that it saddens the heart of God when we murmur and complain, instead of being thankful after He's been so good to us.
Joyce Meyer
As believers, our joy and peace are not based in doing and achieving, but in believing. Joy and peace come as a result of building our relationship with the Lord.
Joyce Meyer
We must meditate on what God has done in our life instead of what we are still waiting on Him to do.
Joyce Meyer
When doubt comes against us, we have to lift up the shield of faith. We do this when we open our mouth and say what God's Word says, rather than grumbling and complaining about the problem.
Joyce Meyer
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.
Joyce Meyer
One might say that our words are a movie screen that reveals what we have been thinking and the attitudes we have.
Joyce Meyer
I used to let other people's struggles affect my happiness. If they weren't happy, there was no way I was going to be happy. The opposite was also true: If I wasn't happy, I didn't want anyone around me to be happy.
Joyce Meyer
Don’t feel like you have to take every suggestion people give you. Not every good idea is a God idea.
Joyce Meyer
If we're really honest with ourselves, most of us will admit that we want to impress people, and this is what's causing us to do what we do.
