We need a backbone, not a wishbone.
Joyce Meyer
Image
God doesn't help those who help themselves He helps those who can't help themselves!
Joyce Meyer
Image
If you don't like yourself, you're going to have a really hard time getting along with anyone else.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Spiritual people don't float around all day on clouds of glory they live in the real world and deal with real issues in real ways.
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.

Give Him your mess and let it become your message.
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
Image
Either we will spend our lives trying to take care of ourselves or we will let go and let God take care of us as we put our faith and trust in Him.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Before you judge someone else, stop and think about all that God has forgiven you for.
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.
Joyce Meyer
Image
There is absolutely no power in our human effort to live holy. It is only by His grace. And the result of receiving grace is we get better at living like Christ, which is something we all want, right?
Joyce Meyer
Image
If I have to build a big company by mistreating other people then the Bible says WOE to me. I don't know what that is, but I don't want any of it.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Until we accept and approve of ourselves, no amount of approval from others will keep us permanently secure.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If you're missing joy and peace, you're not trusting 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
A positive attitude gives you power over your circumstances instead of your circumstances having power over you.
Joyce Meyer
Image
God is a good choice to lean on. He has a proven record of faithfulness to those who commit their lives to Him.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you're able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something... it's about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.

Have God make a message out of your mess.

Love and Self-control are the bookends of the fruit of the Spirit. Remove one of them and the rest fall over
