God wants us to be totally dependent on Him, and suffering seems to bring us to that point.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If I have to build a big company by mistreating other people then the Bible says WOE to me. I don't know what that is, but I don't want any of it.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Patience is a fruit of the spirit that grows only under trial. It is useless to pray for patience. Well, actually I encourage you to pray for patience, but I'll tell you what you'll get TRIALS!

Every time you look in the mirror remember that God created you and that everything He creates is beautiful and good!

A relationship with Christ changes your heart. It's not about your head. It changes your heart. Jesus comes to live in your heart, and even if a person does good works, but they do them without Christ, most of the time, their motives are wrong for why they do them.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I got kicked out of my church and lost all of my friends, but I realized that I had to obey God and not man.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I've learned through my own relationship with God that He's not expecting me to be perfect He wants me to do my best to be in His will and take steps of faith as He leads me, through His Word and the promptings He speaks to my heart.
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
Image
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.

Image
Harboring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping your enemy will die.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Let's face it: None of us are ever going to get to the place in life where we have no more disappointments. We can't expect to be sheltered from every little thing. Disappointment is a fact of life--one that must be dealt with.

There's no happier person than a truly thankful, content person.
