Any time we are misused or used for a purpose other than what God intended us for, it's damaging.
Joyce Meyer

Patience is a fruit that only grows under trials.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We all have two lives: an inner life and an outer life. Your inner life is your soul life, which includes your mind, will and emotions. Your outer life is your physical life. And while God cares about every detail of your life, He is more concerned with your inner life than your outer life.

God is speaking to us. But are we listening to Him? When our conscience begins to nudge us for whatever reason, we might have this low-level misery or uneasiness about whatever it is we've done or we're about to do. At times like this, it's wise to prayerfully consider whether we're offending God with our actions.

Joyce Meyer
Image
Grace keeps us from worrying because worry deals with the past, while grace deals with the present and future.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I can't do anything about my past, but I can do a lot to cooperate with my destiny. I am re-created in Christ Jesus, born anew, that I might do the good works that he laid out for me and live the good life.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Don't reason in the mind just obey in the spirit.
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.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Life is what comes along after you have planned something else.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Ask God for help. Don't think that you can handle this yourself.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Yes, God does expect us to live holy, consecrated lives. But not even the best of our intentions can make it happen. Thankfully, He doesn't expect us to make ourselves holy. He just wants us to learn to depend on Him to make us holy.
