You can have Jesus in your spirit and have an outrageous mess in your soul, and if you don't know what that's called, it's called religion.
Joyce Meyer
Image
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.
Joyce Meyer

It's very inexpensive to give a compliment.
Joyce Meyer
Image
You can't do BIG things when you think little.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make. Contentment does not mean that we never want to see change or improvement, but it does mean we can be happy where we are and will do the best we can with what we have. It also means we will maintain an attitude that allows us to enjoy the gift of life.

You would be better off having nobody than the wrong somebody. (On marrying for the wrong reasons.)
Joyce Meyer
Image
When you walk in love, you give up your right to be right.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Justified means just as if you've never sinned.
Joyce Meyer
Image
There's a deceptive sin that can keep us from walking in love: pride. It's deceptive because when you have pride, you're usually too proud to admit it. I know this because I used to have teachings on pride and they didn't sell well.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Your fellowship with God flows freely when you're willing to forgive, but it gets blocked by unforgiveness.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Don't give up on the people you love. Your patient love and faithfulness may be exactly what they need to make a complete turnaround.
Joyce Meyer
Image
God wants to speak to you on a one-to-one basis every day. He wants to lead you to the good things He has in store for you.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I encourage you to deliberately look for something to smile or laugh about every day, and be sure to share a smile or a laugh with someone else and brighten their day too!
Joyce Meyer
Image
If someone decides they're not going to be happy, it's not your problem. You don't have to spend your time and energy trying to cheer up someone who has already decided to stay in a bad mood. Believe it or not, you can actually hurt people by playing into their self-pity.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If you can't learn to enjoy your life when you have problems, you may never enjoy it because we'll always have problems.
Joyce Meyer
Image
The thing about secrets is they keep you in a prison. Once you share, WHOOSH, there is a release.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If we are addicted to people's approval, we will always experience pain when that approval is withdrawn--as it always is.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We have an epidemic of insecure people in our society today.
Joyce Meyer
Image
My heart is to help hurting people. I teach people God's Word so they can overcome their problems and avoid some of the tough lessons I had to learn.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Jesus paid a tremendous price for us so we could have abundant life. He willingly took all of our sin on Himself and gave His life on the cross so we could be forgiven and have new life in Him.
