Quote

When I read the Bible, I see that we should have victory in our life and be overcomers, and I can't even control my temper. I'm impatient. I'm hard to get along with. I'm selfish and self-centered, and I don't seem to have any control over it.

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.

Before you judge someone else, stop and think about all that God has forgiven you for.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We often think more highly of ourselves than we ought to, and it's easy to judge others and be critical of their weaknesses and shortcomings. But this self-righteous attitude is a sin that we can be blinded to because we're so focused on what the other person did wrong. The reality is this attitude is worse than the wrong behavior we're judging.
Joyce Meyer
Image
God doesn’t want us to live timid, shy, weak, wimpy, fearful, boring lives. He wants us to be bold, con dent and courageous, unafraid to try new things. And it never ceases to amaze me what God will do through a person who simply steps out in faith.

Faith means that you have peace even when you dont have all the answers.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Don't give up on the people you love. Your patient love and faithfulness may be exactly what they need to make a complete turnaround.

Image
Harboring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping your enemy will die.

What's real freedom? Real freedom is being able to not have my way and still be just as happy as if I did.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Instead of being critical of people in authority over you and envious of their position, be happy you're not responsible for everything they have to do. Instead of piling on complaints, thank them for what they do. Overwhelm them with encouragement and appreciation!
