It is better to dream big and get half of it, then dream small and get all of it. -- Joyce Meyer

One of the best ways to walk in love is to be a blessing to other people or simply to help them. -- Joyce Meyer

We all have two lives: an inner life and an outer life. Your inner life is your soul life, which includes your mind, will and emotions. Your outer life is your physical life.

You can't enjoy your life if you don't enjoy YOURSELF. -- Joyce Meyer
I'm just telling you, God permits things in our lives sometimes for reasons that we do not understand yet because of the spiritual level that we're on.

When discipline is sown, like a good seed, it yields a harvest of things that fulfill and satisfy us-things that make us happy and release peace and joy in our lives. -- Joyce Meyer

I am radically, insanely, nutty in love with Jesus! -- Joyce Meyer
