I've been studying the Bible for a long time. I remember that after the first five years or so of diligently studying the Word, I didn't feel like I had made any progress. There were a lot of things in my life that were out of order, and I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere.

We must remember we are stewards of what God has provided for us, not owners.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Forgiveness is manifested mercy it is live in action - not love based on a feeling, but love based on a decision, an intentional choice to obey God.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Most of us have hoped and prayed for something to happen a certain way, but it didn't. And when this happened, we had a choice to make: to react with offense toward God or to trust Him anyway.
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
We need to put no confidence in the arm of flesh, but rather trust ourselves entirely to the arm of the Lord.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We need to do what we can do and let God do what we cannot.

I firmly believe that usually, the person who hurt you doesn't realize what they've done or how much it hurt you. So, continue to pray for the person or situation that caused your pain and anger. Ask God to give you understanding about why they did what they did.

Peter was the only one who walked on water besides Jesus, but he was also the only one who got out of the boat. Until you make a decision to believe, and then act on it, nothing will happen.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you're a Christian you've got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. It's no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how many people do you know in a Western culture that's going to go, 'Yeah, give me some of that?'

The Word of God is different than other words because God's Word is stuffed full of power and anointing.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If you make a mistake, it doesn't mean you're a mistake.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If you want to have sustained joy, you have to not only make sure that you think right, but you also have to make decisions now that are going to guarantee some joy in the future.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Do you know something? The minute that blood sacrifice was accepted, Jesus was the first human being that was ever born again. Now that was real - it happened when he was in Hell.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Life is sometimes very complicated, but we can purposely learn to enjoy the simple yet powerful and beautiful things God has created!
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.

Love listens to the other person and searches for clues on ways to serve, bless and lift up that person.

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!

Just because you feel fear doesn't mean you can't do it. Do it afraid
