enjoy my life while You work on my problems. Joyce Meyer

waste my time chasing cheap substitutes. You are the only one who can satisfy.

defense – and offense – for every situation is prayer. Joyce Meyer

will help you respond with gentleness and compassion when you’re tempted to
return anger for anger. It’s better to throw water on the spark than fuel the
fire. Joyce Meyer
#2116 God’s grace is
amazing! We’re saved by grace – God’s undeserved favor – and we live by grace,
which is also God’s power in our lives to do what we could never do in our own
strength. And it’s all because God is love, and He loves us unconditionally,
constantly and completely. Joyce Meyer
#2117 God’s grace will
never be available to you to become another person. He created you to be you –
the “best you” you can be! Forget about trying to be someone else. Joyce Meyer

what He created me to be! Joyce Meyer

given us everything we need to live an amazing godly life. Joyce Meyer
#2125 God’s timing seems
to be His own little secret. The Bible promises us that He will never be late,
but I have also discovered that He is usually not early. It seems that He takes
every available opportunity to develop the fruit of patience in us. Joyce Meyer
#2126 God’s unconditional
love is a very difficult concept for people to accept because, in the world,
there’s always payment for everything we receive. It’s just how things work
here. But God is not like people! Joyce Meyer
#2127 God’s Word is a
border for my life. As long as I stay within the guidelines laid out in
Scripture, I’ll have what I need to do what I need to do. God is faithful and
true to His Word. Joyce Meyer
#2128 Good character is
not developed through ease and convenience, but through doing now what needs to
be done no matter how difficult it is. Joyce Meyer

never change anything. They only become a deeper and deeper rut. Joyce Meyer

or dirty, lost or found, every part of your life can be given to God. Joyce
Meyer
#2131 Good thinking begins
with a choice. Joyce Meyer
#2132 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
#2133 Grace is a gift.
Joyce Meyer
#2134 Grace is God’s power
to help us do whatever it is we need to do. Joyce Meyer
#2135 Grace is not the
freedom to sin; it is the power to live a holy life. Joyce Meyer
#2136 Grace justifies
sinners, but it never justifies sin. Joyce Meyer
#2137 Grace keeps us from
worrying because worry deals with the past, while grace deals with the present
and future. Joyce Meyer
#2138 Gratitude is the
shortest path to happiness. Joyce Meyer
#2139 Grow fruit, not just
leaves. Joyce Meyer
#2140 Growth requires
facing where you’re at so you can go to the next level. Joyce Meyer
#2141 Happiness is not a
feeling, it is a choice. To be happy, one must choose to be happy, not respond
to a circumstance that now controls your happiness. Joyce Meyer
#2142 Harboring
unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping your enemy will die. Joyce
Meyer
#2143 Have God make a
message out of your mess. Joyce Meyer

Place your hand over your heart. Feel that? It’s called purpose. You’re alive
for a reason. Don’t give up. Joyce Meyer

prayers. Joyce Meyer

and waiting to change us from the inside out. Joyce Meyer
#2147 He rescued me
because He delighted in me. Joyce Meyer

will lead. He will guide. He will make His plans and desires clear. But He will
not force His will on us. We must consciously and deliberately choose to follow
Him. Joyce Meyer

place of power if you’re helpless before God. Ask God for help in everything
you do. Joyce Meyer

life-changing news: God will never reject you! Joyce Meyer

beautiful and gorgeous in your own way. Don’t let anyone make you feel ugly,
because you’re perfect just the way you are. Joyce Meyer
#2152 His grace is enough.
Joyce Meyer
#2153 How one’s life turns
out is not dependent on what people do to us or what they don’t do for us.
Joyce Meyer
#2154 How we think about
ourselves is vitally important to our own self-image and affects every area of
our lives. Joyce Meyer
#2155 Humble people ask
for help. Joyce Meyer
#2156 Humility is not
something that comes naturally. But it is a cardinal virtue that should be
pursued more than any other. Joyce Meyer
#2157 Humility may well be
one of the most difficult of the fruit of the Spirit to be cultivated in us –
and to maintain. That’s because without humility, it’s not likely that you will
put your complete trust in God. Joyce Meyer

and self-controlled person. Joyce Meyer
#2159 I am bold and
courageous! Joyce Meyer
#2160 I am content and
emotionally stable. Joyce Meyer

alive unto righteousness. Joyce Meyer

offend. Joyce Meyer
#2163 I am free! Joyce
Meyer
#2164 I am loved. Joyce
Meyer
#2165 I am not going to
let my emotions manage me, I am going to manage them. Joyce Meyer
#2166 I am not promising
that God will give you everything you want. There are times when we want things
that God knows would not be good for us. Joyce Meyer
#2167 I am radically,
insanely, nutty in love with Jesus! Joyce Meyer
#2168 I believe confidence
is all about being positive concerning what you can do – and not worrying over
what you can’t do. A confident person is open to learning, because she knows
that her confidence allows her to walk through life’s doorways, eager to
discover what waits on the other side. She knows that every new unknown is a
chance to learn more about herself and unleash her abilities. Joyce Meyer
#2169 I believe many
people feel like God is mad at them. One day I put a post on Facebook that
said, “God is not mad at you.” Within a few hours, we literally had thousands
of positive responses from people saying things like, “That is exactly what I
needed to hear today.” Obviously, this is the message we need to hear. Joyce
Meyer
#2170 I believe one of the
best things you can do for an angry person is to show them by example that
there is a better way to live and behave. Joyce Meyer
#2171 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. Joyce
Meyer
#2172 I believe that
everyone experiences depression to some degree at some time in their lives. And
there are probably millions of people who live with a low level of sadness and
heaviness day in and day out. Joyce Meyer
#2173 I believe we live in
a love-starved society. Everywhere you go there are probably people who haven’t
had the right kind of love in their lives. Joyce Meyer
#2174 I can do whatever I
need to do in life through Christ. Joyce Meyer
#2175 I can honestly tell
you that without God I would not be who I am today. He has done such an amazing
work in my life and I want everyone to have the same freedom. Joyce Meyer
#2176 I can tell you from
experience that God’s help and presence in our lives is vital. He is the Author
of all true success and everything that is good – without Him, we can do
nothing of true value. Joyce Meyer
#2177 I can’t very well be
teaching one way and living my life another way. What I do in life must be
consistent with the things I say. And the same goes for you. Joyce Meyer
#2178 I consider wisdom
supernatural because it isn’t taught by men – it’s a gift from God. Joyce Meyer
#2179 I didn’t really
understand the importance of little things. I didn’t really understand that it
was the little foxes that spoil the vine. And if we’re not faithful in little
things, that God will never be able to make us ruler over great things. Joyce
Meyer
#2180 I don’t just pray
for God to open doors, I also pray for God to close doors. Joyce Meyer
#2181 I don’t need to do
something important to be important … I am important because God loves me and
He sent Jesus to die for me. Joyce Meyer
#2182 I don’t think even
ungodly people realize what a society would be like that had no godly influence
at all. Joyce Meyer
#2183 I don’t think
there’s anyone who would say they don’t want or need more of God’s power in
their life. Joyce Meyer
#2184 I encourage you to
be a person who is not afraid of responsibility. In meeting resistance, you
will build your strength. If you only do what is easy, you will always remain
weak. Joyce Meyer
#2185 I encourage you to
focus on relationship with Jesus rather than the rules of religion. Joyce Meyer
#2186 I encourage you to
form a habit of going to God in prayer the moment anything troubles you. Joyce
Meyer
#2187 I enjoy being a
blessing to others. Everything I lay my hand to prospers and succeeds. Joyce
Meyer
#2188 I felt like life was
ordering me around rather than me ordering my life, and I knew something was
wrong. Joyce Meyer
#2189 I have discovered
that God will take my mistakes and turn them into miracles, if I continue to
trust confidently in Him! Joyce Meyer
#2190 I have hidden Your
Word in my heart, that I might not sin against You (Psalms 119:11). Joyce Meyer
#2191 I have learned from
personal experience that putting trust in God means there will be some
unanswered questions. That was a hard lesson for me because I naturally want to
understand everything … to know what’s going on so I can feel like I’m in control.
Joyce Meyer
#2192 I have learned that
I really do have discipline, self-control, and patience. But they were given to
me as a seed, and it’s up to me to choose to develop them. Joyce Meyer
#2193 I have to be willing
to finish what I start. God uses committed people who aren’t led by emotion.
It’s easy to be excited in the beginning when something is new, but the ones
who cross the finish line are the ones who hang in there when no one else is
excited anymore. Joyce Meyer
#2194 I just really
believe people have to get hungry. I think maybe what we need to do, instead of
us trying to stuff our beliefs down people’s throats, is just pray for them to
really be hungry and see their neediness. Joyce Meyer
#2195 I know from personal
experience how damaging it can be to live with bitterness and unforgiveness. I
like to say it’s like taking poison and hoping your enemy will die. And it
really is that harmful to us to live this way. Joyce Meyer
#2196 I like to talk to
myself ahead of time so when temptation comes, I’ve already made up my mind
that I have the victory! Joyce Meyer
#2197 I live in the
present and enjoy each moment. Joyce Meyer
#2198 I love people and
enjoy helping them. Joyce Meyer
#2199 I make mistakes
every day. I’m not perfect in my behavior, but I want to be and that’s what God
is after … a heart that wants to be. Joyce Meyer
#2200 I might not be where
I want to be, but thank God I’m not where I used to be. I’m okay and I’m on my
way! Joyce Meyer
