Bible Quotes
Doing what we feel like doing can get us in a
mess. Don’t make decisions based on feelings. Learn to do what’s right
even when it all feels wrong. (Proverbs 21:2-3)
"How wonderful, how beautiful, when brothers and sisters get along!" -Psalm 133:1
"Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him." -Psalm 62:5
"…Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain
new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run
and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary." -Isaiah 40:31
NASB
Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable… -Phil. 4:8
Now
to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish
abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be
glory.--Ephesians 3:20
A Relationship With Jesus
Joyce has inspired many people to find their pathway to Jesus Christ and to begin a life-long, deep and devoted journey to him. We are more than conquerors through Christ, who strengthens us. We can do anything we need to do in life with him by our side.
"It's not enough just to get rid of negative thoughts. We have to replace them with positive thoughts." - Joyce
"You can think things on purpose, you don't have to just think whatever falls into your head" - Joyce Meyer
"If you can’t get happy in the valley you won't be happy on the mountaintop." - Joyce Meyer
“When someone gives you offense, it doesn't mean you have to take it." - Joyce Meyer
What have you done to be a blessing to others lately? Or have you been too busy seeking after the desires of the flesh? Love is manifested in how we treat people, not how they treat us. We are to be a blessing to others, be an example to others, show them what having a close relationship with Christ looks like. Our lives are to be salt. They should make others thirsty for that relationship God.
Don't Listen To Negativity. Stay Positive.
When people say negative things to you, tell
yourself, “I know that’s not true. I know I have gifts, talents and
abilities, and I know God created me, and I believe He is going to use
me to do great things. God doesn't want you to live a sad life. He
wants you to overflow with joy. Today, Joyce shares how to immediately
increase that joy in your everyday life. God cares about your heart more than anything. We must learn to consistently say what God says to maximize His power in our lives. To stay upbeat about life, accept that you won’t be perfect all the time, and neither will the people or things around you.
Joyce Meyer Quotes
Joyce Meyer Quotes
Make
friends with yourself and learn to enjoy your own company. Don’t depend
on other people as the source of your happiness or for approval. -Joyce
A man
or woman who can’t control their temper is headed for big trouble. Stay
calm and let God work for you in every situation. –Joyce
Never say anything about another person that you would not want said about you, and remember that “we reap what we sow.” –Joyce
Forgive
the person who badly hurt you long ago, the stranger who stepped on
your toe in the grocery store, and everyone in between. - Joyce
Your worst day with God is still better than your best day without Him. - Joyce
Don’t
waste time and energy hating and fighting others. Walk in love and wage
war against hatred. Love is the best way to fight back. - Joyce
When you have a problem don't go to the phone, go to the Throne. - Joyce
Marriage has its moments, but you're in it for the long haul. Learn to stay together by staying in agreement. - Joyce
Pray
for those who hurt you. It may not be easy at first, but make the
decision and stick with it, and God will take care of the rest. - Joyce
I'm not where I need to be, but thank God I'm not where I used to be" - Joyce
The more you hurry, the more mistakes you make. Slow down, breathe and learn to be led by God, not driven by impatience. -Joyce
God
is bigger than every issue you will ever have to face, and you can do
whatever you need to do through Christ who strengthens you. - Joyce
Busy or Fruitful ?
Do you ever feel like you are just too busy?
Do you know that you can choose to enjoy your life even when things aren't going as you would like them to be? Everyone these days seems to be busy, but God never told us to be busy, he told us to be fruitful. There is a difference. If we put our time into something that bears good fruit, I believe that makes us feel fulfilled. You need to make sure you do not let the Devil steal your time, let yourself be manipulated to the point where your life is quickly passing by and you find yourself with regrets. We need to be good stewards of our energy, God gives us a certain amount of energy for our life, and if we use it all up being "busy," then we will later probably be sick, unhealthy and tired. Eventually you will reap what you sew; time is a resource. That is not to say that being busy isn't necessarily bearing any fruit, but a lot of people are busy doing nothing.
We don't want to waste our time because every day that we live is a day that we will never get back. Everybody has the same amount of time, and nobody gets any more than anybody else. It is interesting to see how much some people accomplish with their life, while others choose not to. What we accomplish has to do with the choices we make with our resources (time).
Leaving The City Of Regret Is Up To You
Leaving the City of Regret
I had not planned on taking a trip this time of the year, yet I found myself packing hurriedly. This trip was going to be unpleasant and I knew in advance that no good would come of it. I’m talking about my annual Guilt Trip. I got tickets to fly there on ‘Wish I Had’ airlines. It was an extremely short flight. I got my baggage which I couldn’t check, I chose to carry it myself all the way there. It was weighted with a thousand memories of what might have been. No one greeted me as I entered the terminal to the Regret City International Airport. As I checked into the last resort hotel, I noticed they were hosting this years annual Pity Party. Well I wasn’t going to miss that great social occasion, because most citizens would be there. First, attending would be the ‘Done’ family. You know, Should’ve Done, Would’ve Done, and Could’ve done. Then came the ‘I Had’ family. You know ole’ Wish I Had & his clan. And then of course the Opportunities would be there, Missed Opportunities and Lost Opportunities. But the biggest family of all was the ‘Yesterdays‘, there are far too many of them to count, but each one had a sad story to tell. Then Shattered Dreams would surely make an appearance and its their fault. Surely, Shattered Dreams would tell us stories and excuses about how things failed in their life, saying they shouldn’t be blamed and they couldn’t help it. To make a long story short, I went to this party knowing there was no benefit in doing so.
If your planning a trip to the City of Regret, cancel your reservations. Instead take a trip to a new place, Starting Again. My neighbours there have been very helpful to me. You dont have to carry baggage there, if you make it there some day then look me up, I live on 'I Can Do It' Street.

Time For An Attitude Adjustment
Its pretty easy to get discontented and unsatisfied with what you have.
Should you feel a little grumpy, and maybe you’ll have a hard time sleeping tonight, just remember the homeless family that has no bed to sleep in.
Should you find yourself stuck in traffic don’t despair, for there are people in the world for whom driving an automobile is an unheard of privilege
Should you have a bad day at work, think about the man that has been out of work for three months.
Should you despair over a relationship that is troublesome, think of the person who has never even known what its like to love and be loved.
Should you grieve over the fact that your boss denied your request to work 4 days a week and have 3 day weekend, think of the woman working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for $10 a week just to feed her family in a 3rd world country.
Should your car break down leaving you a mile away from assistance, think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk
If you didn’t get the parking place that you wanted, and you had to walk a couple of blocks and you complained - its time for an attitude adjustment.
If you look in the mirror and see some old grey hair, think of the cancer patient in Chemotherapy who wishes she even had some hair to examine.
Should you find yourself discouraged because you cant decide what your life’s calling is, be thankful, there are those who didn’t even live long enough to get the opportunity to think about what their life’s calling might be.
Should you find yourself the victim of other peoples bitterness, ignorance, smallness, or insecurities - remember that things could be worse. You could be that person.
