Joyce Meyer

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

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

I just really believe people have to get hungry. I think maybe what we need to do, instead of trying to stuff our beliefs down people’s throats, is just pray for them to really be hungry and to see their neediness.

Joyce Meyer

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

I like gifts. I like to give them and I like to get them.

Joyce Meyer

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

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

I spent most of the early years of my walk with God focused on what was wrong with me. Most of us probably do that, hoping to change ourselves.

Joyce Meyer

I think happiness is a goal all of us can agree on. Let’s face it – we all would like to be happy.

Joyce Meyer

I think the perception of peace is what distracts most people from really having it.
