| 374f5fe | We can't just hope we will think good thoughts. We have to actively seek them. We have to think purposely, not passively. A passive mind is a dangerous thing; passive people want good things to happen to them, but they just wait around to see what will happen. They do nothing to contribute to a positive result in their lives. The devil wants us to be passive because then he can work his plan without any opposition from us. But the Bible tel.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 29ab314 | Integrity is vitally important to our walk with God. People with integrity take responsibility for their actions. They keep their commitments instead of making excuses for not keeping them. They do what they tell people they are going to do, and, if for some reason they absolutely cannot, then they contact the person, give an explanation (not an excuse), and ask to be released from the commitment. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 1f4c827 | A walk begins with one step and then another and another. No matter how long your journey seems, if you take enough steps in the right direction, you will eventually arrive at your desired destination. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 53af80a | 1. Just Keep Breathing Lauren told me that after Bob died, she couldn't imagine getting through the rest of her life without him. She told herself she just needed to get through the next year, which would be the hardest one, but that was too overwhelming. Little by little, she kept reducing the length of time she needed to get through in order to make it. A month was too daunting; even a week or a day felt like too much. Finally, she realiz.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 1a41667 | Words have a tremendous impact on all our lives. I know people who have lived lives of crippling insecurity because their parents spoke words of judgment, criticism, and failure to them on a regular basis. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 04e490f | A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed a hopeless failure may turn to glorious success." --Elbert Hubbard" | Joyce Meyer | ||
| a7ac489 | Anyone who tries to keep all the people happy all the time will never fulfill their destiny. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 46bdff1 | God sees and understands what we do not see and understand. He asks us to put aside our natural tendencies to want to figure out what should happen in our lives and when it should happen. He also desires us to stop being frustrated because things do not go according to our plan, and instead to relax, enjoy the ride, and trust He is working everything out according to His timing and the wisdom of His plan. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 76b23b1 | Greedy people ask, ask, ask, and rarely ever appreciate what they have already received. I do not believe that God will release us into the fullness of all that He has planned for us until we become thankful for what we have already been given. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| c8f225c | You can gain or buy friends by letting them control you, but you will have to keep them the same way you got them. After allowing them to control you to keep their friendship for a while, you will eventually get tired of having no freedom. Being lonely is actually better than being manipulated and controlled. When you enter into a new relationship, be careful how you get started. What you allow in the beginning will come to be expected thro.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| c31cbf6 | As a man thinketh in his heart; so is he. Therefore, all of my thoughts are positive. I do not allow the devil to use my spirit as a garbage dump by meditating on negative things that he offers me. (Prov. 23:7 KJV) | Joyce Meyer | ||
| f4c2f2a | We can defeat Satan much more quickly by praising God than by worrying. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| c161085 | As long as you think tomorrow is dependent on yesterday, your future will never be different from your past. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 30a366e | what God really wants from us is not perfect performance, perfect behavior, or perfect attitudes, because He already sees those things in Jesus on our behalf. What God wants from us are hearts that truly love Him. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 5e54f60 | I encourage you to examine your life, to pay attention to your thoughts and your words, and to see how much thanksgiving you express. Do you murmur and complain about things or are you thankful? | Joyce Meyer | ||
| b2232d2 | A bad attitude is like a flat tire. If you don't change it, you won't go anywhere. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 497acd8 | JANUARY 19 Expect the Blessings of God Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. PSALM 27:14 Sometimes you may feel discouraged, miserable, and depressed. In those times you need to take a close look at what's been going on in your mind. Isaiah 26:3 tells you when you keep your mind on the Lord you will have "perfect and constant peace." By focusing on the goodness of God a.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 49904b6 | Singing and giving thanks may not seem like the thing to do in times of trouble, but believe me, it is exactly what we need to do. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 5f6d846 | Speak Life Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life]. PROVERBS 18:21 If we ride to work with somebody and gossip about our boss and talk about how we hate our job and what a stupid place it is, we will have a bad day. The Bible says, "A man's [moral] self shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; and with the consequence of his words he must be satisfied [wheth.. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 6eaa22e | Great character is not developed through ease and convenience but through doing NOW what needs to be done no matter how difficult it | Joyce Meyer | ||
| a6a791f | Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make. Contentment does not mean that we never want to see change or improvement, but it does mean we can be happy where we are and will do the best we can with what we have. It also means we will maintain an attitude that allows us to enjoy the gift of life. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| f25a44d | There are many emotions we have to resist, but happiness is not one of them! So go ahead and be as happy as you can possibly be. | Joyce Meyer | ||
| 9d49d12 | I believe people give their mistakes more power than they need. We should admit them, repent, and ask God to forgive us for them. We should also learn from our mistakes because by doing so, they can add value to our lives. Instead of allowing mistakes to make you feel guilty and bad, let them be your teacher, and always remember that just because you make a mistake does not mean you are a mistake. | Joyce Meyer | ||

| 78a1213 | Tonight was a perfect illustration of why Cinderella and the Prince get married twenty-four hours after they meet. Because when you're living with your stepmother, there is no happily ever after. | happily-ever-after humor | Melissa Kantor | |
| 83290f8 | If God was going to do what He thought was best anyway, why bother to ask for anything one wanted? If you prayed, and God thought that what you asked should be granted, He would grant it. If you did not pray, and it was true that God always acted in one's best interest, you would receive whatever He wanted you to receive anyway.Prayer, thought Allison, was a dreadfully unfair, rather unsportsmanlike affair, with all the advantages on one si.. | prayer | Grace Metalious | |

| c3e47e8 | I don't know why I thought of Dottie as my friend but I did. I believe she thought the same way about me although she really didn't like me. In those days, among the people I mixed with, one had friends almost by predestination. There they were, like your winter coat and your meagre luggage. You didn't think of discarding them just because you didn't altogether like them. | Muriel Spark | ||
