Famous Joyce Meyer Quotes

“Sadly, many people don't make it through the storms of life. Or they give up or they start doing and saying foolish things and abort the journey altogether.It is easy to begin, but God is looking for people who will finish. The apostle Paul declared the stand that he would take in order to complete his journey: , But none of these things move me; neither do I esteem my life dear to myself, if only I may finish my course with joy. Acts 20:24”

“Everyone is hard to love some of time, including you and me, but if we press past those times, we can have enjoyable, long-lasting relationships. You will never find anyone to have a relationship with who will please you all the time. All of us are imperfect, and in order to get along, we must be merciful and forgiving.”

“Mandela a avut o ieşire din închisoare grandioasă, elegantă şi plină de demnitate, fiind un lucru extrem de puternic la care a putut asista întreaga lume. Însă, în timp ce-l priveam mergând pe drumul prăfuit, mă întrebam ce părere o fi având el despre ultimii 27 de ani din viața sa şi dacă nu cumva era mânios din nou. Mulți ani mai târziu, am avut şansa de a-l întreba acest lucru. I-am spus: „Ați fost un om extraordinar, căci v-ați invitat temnicerii să ia parte la învestirea dvs. ca preşedinte, ați făcut chiar presiuni la guvern pentru asta. Spuneți-mi adevărul însă, nu cumva erați iar plin de mânie?” El a răspuns: „Ba da, eram mânios şi simțeam şi teamă, doar abia ce fusesem eliberat. Însă, când am simțit acea mânie adunându-se în mine, mi- am dat seama că, dacă îi uram în continuare după ce ieşisem de după gratii, atunci însemna că încă eram prizonierul lor.” Apoi a zâmbit şi a spus: „Fiindcă voiam să fiu liber, am dat drumul la tot.”

“Un indian cherokee îşi învăța nepotul despre o bătălie care se dă în fiecare om. El i-a spus tânărului: „Bătălia se dă între doi lupi. Unul este leneş, laş, înfumurat, arogant şi plin de autocompătimire, tristețe, regret, invidie şi mânie. Celălalt lup este harnic, curajos, smerit, binevoitor şi plin de compasiune, bucurie, empatie şi credință.” Apoi s-a făcut tăcere. Nepotul s-a gândit puțin la lupi, iar apoi şi-a întrebat bunicul: „Care dintre cei doi lupi învinge?” Bătrânul indian cherokee a răspuns: „Cel pe care îl hrăneşti.”

“Poate că spuneți: „Dacă Dumnezeu ştia că planul Său perfect avea să dea greş, atunci de ce nu l-a făcut infailibil?” Răspunsul este foarte simplu: Dumnezeu l-a creat pe om cu liber arbitru deoarece El Îşi dorea ca oamenii să aibă părtăşie cu El din proprie inițiativă, nu din obligație. El voia ca oamenii să-I fie parteneri în viață, nu voia nişte simple marionete care să nu aibă de ales decât să I se supună.”

“Porcupine people- dangerous to be around because you are likely to get hurt. You may never know if don’t get close to them, but if you do get close enough, you will eventually see their dents and cracks and feel their jabs. It would be nice if we could just place an order for the kind of people we would like to have in our life, but people come as is, and we wither take them as they are or end up alone.”
