Don't build walls and shut people out of your life. To act as if another does not exist is a mean and cruel weapon
Joyce MeyerDon't try to change people. It won't work, and they will end up resenting you. Only God can change people!
Joyce MeyerEverybody wants to be loved. God already loves you; all you have to do is believe and accept it.
Joyce MeyerUntil we accept and approve of ourselves, no amount of approval from others will keep us permanently secure.
Joyce MeyerI believe, when in my behavior or in relationships or in the way I react to something, that I'm still dealing with some leftover stuff from my childhood, but the good thing is now, because I have learned so much from the Bible, I can tell when I'm behaving wrong and when I'm not, and it doesn't take me very long to realize that's out of fear, or that's because I was controlled as a child, and I can make a conscious decision to behave the way I know I should behave.
