As long as we complain, we remain stuck in our problems. But a thankful attitude brings deliverance and makes God smile.
Joyce MeyerA relationship with Christ changes your heart. It's not about your head. It changes your heart. Jesus comes to live in your heart, and even if a person does good works, but they do them without Christ, most of the time, their motives are wrong for why they do them.
Joyce MeyerWhen you forgive, you must cancel the debt. Do not spend your life paying and collecting debts.
Joyce MeyerIf we are to receive the blessings God wants to bestow upon us, we must be willing to give Him the messes in our lives.
Joyce MeyerDonโt waste another day of your life grieving over something that you cannot do anything about. Let God give you a new beginning. Your mistakes are not enough to stop God if you donโt let them.
Joyce MeyerDonโt waste your life waiting until everything is perfect before you start enjoying it.
Joyce MeyerIn the midst of your battles, never forget that God loves you and He has a plan for you.
Joyce Meyeryou have to realize that you don't have someone else's life and your never going to. You better start loving the one you got. Embrass the life you have and stop wishing that you could be someone else. Just stop all that and start saying "God here I am. Do what you want to do with me".
Joyce MeyerYou would be better off having nobody than the wrong somebody. (On marrying for the wrong reasons.)
Joyce MeyerI have learned God doesn't always change those people we want Him to change; instead, He often uses them to change us.
Joyce MeyerPatience is a fruit of the spirit that grows only under trial. It is useless to pray for patience. Well, actually I encourage you to pray for patience, but I'll tell you what you'll get TRIALS!
Joyce MeyerIf I have to build a big company by mistreating other people then the Bible says WOE to me. I don't know what that is, but I don't want any of it.
Joyce MeyerI always asked for forgiveness for my sins right away but I never accepted it until I felt right that I had suffered enough to pay for it. God revealed to me what I was doing how much unnecessary pain I was causing myself. He even showed me that what I was doing was an insult to Jesus that in essence I was saying Lord the sacrifice of Your life and blood was good but not good enough. I must add my work of feeling guilty before I can be forgiven.
Joyce MeyerPositive minds produce positive lives. Negative minds produce negative lives. Positive thoughts are always full of faith and hope. Negative thoughts are always full of fear and doubt.
Joyce MeyerThe Word of God is different than other words because God's Word is stuffed full of power and anointing.
Joyce MeyerThrough my obedience to God, He has been able to use my life to help others. It's been a great journey and I'm looking forward to all the things God has in the future.
Joyce MeyerGod is working on your problem. Stay calm. Stay sweet. Stay out of fear and keep on keeping on.

Joyce MeyerIf 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 MeyerI had lots of hurt and lots of pain, lots of woundedness, bruises, broken heartedness in my life. I was abused sexually by my father, abused mentally, emotionally. My mom didn't know what to do about it, and she was being hurt in the process. So she just didn't deal with it. And I can guarantee you, just because you don't deal with something, that doesn't make it go away.
Joyce MeyerIf you can't learn to enjoy your life when you have problems, you may never enjoy it because we'll always have problems.
Joyce MeyerSo now, I exhort you with this truth: Don't spend all your life playing it safe! Safety is very comfortable, but it may be keeping you from God's perfect plan for your life.
Joyce MeyerUnhappiness comes when you try to be like everyone else rather than embracing the unique person that you are.
Joyce MeyerWhatever your situation, God wants to heal you, strengthen you, and lead you to a place where you can enjoy life again.
Joyce MeyerIf 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 MeyerIf we continue to believe God and place our trust in Him, bad things ultimately give way to better things.
Joyce MeyerYou may think that if someone else doesn't change, you can never be happy. But if you change, you can be happy no matter what.
Joyce MeyerSometimes when you are the closest to your breakthrough the pressure is the greatest. You have come too far to give up now!
Joyce MeyerIf you can manage to be thankful in every situation, really believing that God is working everything out for your good, you will end up with the victory every single time.
Joyce MeyerWhen an injustice happens, we want to be vindicated. People feel that if they forgive the person who hurt them, then they will continue to take advantage of them or not take responsibility for what they did wrong. If we're honest, we'll admit that we usually want the person who hurt us to pay for what they did. We can't get past this until we get the revelation that only God can pay us back. He is our Vindicator - He will heal and restore us if we will trust Him and forgive our enemies as He has told us to do.
