People always want to know how you know. And knowing in your heart is very hard to describe. I think so often, we're trying to understand something with our mind. But, actually, the Bible teaches us that much of what God does in our life will be difficult to understand with the mind.

The conscience can be a strong guide in life if we allow it.
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
Image
It is God's will to bless us, but not necessarily on our terms. Sometimes what we think would be a wonderful blessing would not bless us at all.

Feeling sorry for ourselves is the most useless waste of energy on the planet. It does absolutely no good. We can't let our circumstances or what others do or don't do control us. We can decide to be happy regardless.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We need to do what we can do and let God do what we cannot.
Joyce Meyer
Image
The absence of pain means death, so when something no longer bothers you, you've died to that thing.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Many people feel so pressured by the expectations of others that it causes them to be frustrated, miserable and confused about what they should do. But there is a way to live a simple, joy-filled, peaceful life, and the key is learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit, not the traditions or expectations of man.
Joyce Meyer
Image
When we are overly concerned with what people think we will be controlled by the thoughts and opinions of other people.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I don't really have many hobbies but one of my favorite things to do is spend time with my family. We have fun together, and building those relationships is very important to me.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Don't live like there's no tomorrow because tomorrow always comes.
Joyce Meyer
Image
There is nothing as tragic as being alive and not enjoying life... Life should be celebrated!
Joyce Meyer
Image
The Bible says that Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. On the job, in the grocery store, even among unsaved friends and family members, God's people are there to bring seasoning to an unsavory situation.
