More quotes by Joyce Meyer
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
When we complain about our current situation, we remain in it when we praise God in the midst of difficulty, He raises us out of it.
Joyce Meyer
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
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
Faith is having a positive attitude about what you can do and not worrying at all about what you can't do.
Joyce Meyer
You would be better off having nobody than the wrong somebody. (On marrying for the wrong reasons.)
Joyce Meyer
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
Sometimes if you got a problem deep rooted in your life, it takes a little bit of time to overcome it in that area.
Joyce Meyer
God wants us to be totally dependent on Him, and suffering seems to bring us to that point.
Joyce Meyer
The Israelites' slavery in Egypt is the equivalent of our slavery to sin. God sent Moses to deliver them from bondage, and He sent Jesus Christ to set us free.
Joyce Meyer
One of the best gifts we can give ourselves is time alone with God.
Joyce Meyer
Willpower is that thing CEOs and professional athletes tell us they used to make it to the top.
Joyce Meyer
I've been studying the Bible for a long time. I remember that after the first five years or so of diligently studying the Word, I didn't feel like I had made any progress. There were a lot of things in my life that were out of order, and I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere.
Joyce Meyer
If I believe the Bible, then I don't believe that a gay lifestyle or a homosexual lifestyle is the right way to choose to live. I believe that there's something so much better.
Joyce Meyer
Love gives life purpose and meaning.
Joyce Meyer
Character isn't developed when we get what we want. Character is developed when we don't get what we want.
Joyce Meyer
If you will make time with God your first priority, everything else in your life will fall into place.
Joyce Meyer
Harboring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping your enemy will die.
Joyce Meyer
It is impossible to be both selfish and happy.
Joyce Meyer
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
