Restorer of Paths

 "God is on your side, and if He is for you it really does not matter who is against you. The giants may be big, but God is bigger. You may have weaknesses, but God has strength." ~Joyce Meyer

 "...it is impossible for us to be merciful if we have not learned our own need for mercy and practiced receiving it from the Lord. It is our own weaknesses and failures that cause us to have compassion on the weak and erring." ~Joyce Meyer

 "David was young, inexperienced, without natural armor or weapons, and Goliath was definitely bigger and more powerful than he was. But David knew his God and had confidence in Him. He believed that God would be strong in his weakness and give him the victory. He went out in the name of the Lord, with a heart full of confidence, and became a giant-killer who was eventually crowned king.(1 Samuel 17)." ~Joyce Meyer

 "David had no one to believe in him, so he believed in himself. He believed in God's ability in him.

 "The Lord told me once that if I didn't believe in myself, I really did not believe in him properly. He said, "I am in you, but I can only do through you what you believe."

 "Confidence is something we decide to have. We learn about God-about His love, His ways and His Word-then ultimately we must decide whether we believe or not. If we do believe, then we have confidence. If we don't believe, we live in doubt about everything." ~Joyce Meyer

 "Like everyone else, you will make mistakes-but God will allow you to learn from them and will actually work them out to your good if you decide not to be defeated by them. When doubt begins to torment your mind, start speaking the Word of God out of your mouth, and you will win the battle." ~Joyce Meyer

 All of the above quotes are from Joyce Meyer's book, How to Succeed at Being Yourself. I used to feel foolish admitting I was reading a book with that title, but I've read it twice now, and I find help in it.

 God is so big. SO much bigger than my dorky little problems and concerns-yet to Him, I am a treasure.

And so are you.
