Quote

If you know how to worry, you know how to meditate. It means to think of something over and over.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Perhaps we could enjoy ordinary, everyday life more if we learned to celebrate the ordinary.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Instead of concentrating on your problems and getting discouraged, focus on God and meditate on His promises for you. You may have fallen down, but you don't have to stay down. God is ready, willing and able to pick you up.
Joyce Meyer
Image
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.
Joyce Meyer
Image
Do yourself a favor and forgive anyone that has anything against you. Do it as an act of faith and trust God to change and heal your emotions. Pray for your enemies and never say another unkind thing about them. It is the only way you can move past the pain and begin to heal.

It's so easy to settle for less than God's best for us because we don't always feel like taking responsibility for our behavior or putting forth some effort to do what we need to do so we can accomplish great things for God and help people. But the cost of settling for less is actually harder than being completely obedient to God's will.

I used to have a real problem with self-pity. Every time the devil would throw a pity party, I would attend.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If we're really honest with ourselves, most of us will admit that we want to impress people, and this is what's causing us to do what we do.
Joyce Meyer
Image
We need a backbone, not a wishbone.
Joyce Meyer
Image
I got kicked out of my church and lost all of my friends, but I realized that I had to obey God and not man.
Joyce Meyer
Image
If you want to be unhappy, uncomfortable, and insecure, just spend your life trying to do something that is not right for you. It is just like trying to wear shoes that don't fit.
Joyce Meyer
Image
There is nothing as tragic as being alive and not enjoying life... Life should be celebrated!

Spending time with God through prayer and His Word is a prerequisite for having a great life and fulfilling your purpose.
