Anytime we step out boldly to make changes, we take a chance that we might fail. But the only way to get better is to try.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Getting organized in the normal routines of life and finishing little projects you've started is an important first step toward realizing larger goals. If you can't get a handle on the small things, how will you ever get it together to focus on the big things?

Make sure you are doing what is important to God-not just what is important to everyone else you know.

Don’t waste your life waiting until everything is perfect before you start enjoying it.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Traditions are a common part of our lives. They can be good, and not all traditions are wrong, but sometimes they can take the joy out of life.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Grace equals ability. God gives us grace to match our call. When we do our own thing, we do it on our own. When we follow His leading, He always supplies the grace and the energy to do what He's calling us to do.

Watch out for the joy-stealers: gossip, criticism, complaining, faultfinding, and a negative, judgmental attitude.
Joyce Meyer

Happiness is not a feeling, it is a choice. To be happy, one must choose to be happy, not respond to a circumstance that now controls your happiness.
Joyce Meyer
Image
God is bigger than every issue you will ever have to face, and you can do whatever you need to do through Christ who strengthens you.

As believers, our joy and peace are not based in doing and achieving, but in believing. Joy and peace come as a result of building our relationship with the Lord.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Worry is like rocking in a rocking chair all day, because it keeps you busy but gets you nowhere.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Whatever is making you so angry, it's time for you to give it to God and get over it.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Encourage everyone you meet with a smile or compliment. Make them feel better when you leave their presence and they will always be glad to see you coming.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Many Christians suffer because they're too busy seeking carnal knowledge instead of the Word of God.
Joyce Meyer
Image
What do you do when disappointment comes? When it weighs on you like a rock, you can either let it press you down until you become discouraged, even devastated, or you can use it as a stepping-stone to better things.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I can't very well be teaching one way and living my life another way. What I do in life must be consistent with the things I say. And the same goes for you.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I am not where I used to be.
Joyce Meyer
Image
My father was a mean, controlling and manipulative person for most of his life. He was unpredictable and unstable. As a result, the atmosphere of our home was super-charged with fear because you never knew if what you did would make him mad or not.
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.
