unconditionally. Joyce Meyer

much … always has, and always will. Joyce Meyer

heart and guide you with His wisdom. Joyce Meyer

life—it all has to be done from a position of rest. Joyce Meyer

to make other people happy! And the happier you make others, the happier you
will be because you reap what you sow. Joyce Meyer

totally dependent on Him, and suffering seems to bring us to that point. Joyce

delivered from what you have done and what has been done to you. Both are

enjoy your life now, not when. Joyce Meyer
