"He who kneels before God can stand before anyone."

[@leegalloway9508]

people that have been through trauma and feel like they have to take care of themselves, the selfishness is more of a survival mentality.

[@karenkramer3760]

We can push through though.

[@chiomaoweazim4286]

Yes I've been through this too

[@norcalriss]

For sure

[@nikkimontoya1904]

Yes i used to be one of those people. BUT GOD!!!! Once I allowed myself to believe that HE will take care of me the rest changed over time. Rest in HIS word ❤

[@DignifiedDestitution]

From personal experience, even when I didn’t have to be in that survival mode anymore, it didn’t mean my body got the message. I developed a lot of vigilant habits over safety. They don’t go away overnight. Being gentle with yourself doesn’t mean selfish. If you rush something that can’t be rushed, it won’t heal properly. For me, God told me to take it easy when I needed rest and He told me to push myself when I was making excuses. Only you will know the difference for your life. Sometimes life takes time, even when you’re fully leaning on Him. I pray your healing goes beyond what you can imagine and that the growth that comes from the struggle makes it all worth it. God bless ❤

[@JeannetteJones-bl2ml]

And your care of those children is truly a blessing to them. May God continue to see you through as you continue to trust in Him.

[@JoshuaHairiston]

"You cannot be happy and selfish at the same time".................that's good!

[@MarieAMcNeese]

Yet she is selfish and would rather spend tons on facelifts than help someone in need

[@ChildofGod98765]

Lord Jesus I seek you everyday please find me. Both of my sons have special needs and I struggle desperately trying my best to support them as a single mom. I put my children first, no matter how tired I am. Jesus continues to give me strength to keep going. Lord as I struggle to pay rent and as I struggle to buy groceries please grant me strength you have provided this far Lord and for that I am thankful so I know a blessing is on the way.❤️

[@rosekelly0611]

I can’t imagine all you go through on a daily but I pray GOD takes care of all your needs .🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@ashleyhopper3071]

I know exactly what you're going through. I don't have TWO special needs kids, but I do have one kid with special needs. I also struggle with special needs. God sees you and He has his hand over you

[@user-qs6yh1ln1k]

People who have been through abuse in childhood and have had abusive adult relationships need to take care of themselves. Some of us weren't fortunate enough to meet a Dave Meyer. There are many wolves out there. Including in the church.

[@mermiefasmart1387]

One MUST take care of oneself FIRST for if you cannot and do not take care of yourself, you cannot be fit enough to take care of others. It just will not work. We are human. We ALL have needs.

[@kimberlymiller655]

You have the choice to get out when you know differently. No more excuses. Ask for help. Run

[@user-qs6yh1ln1k]

@kimberlymiller655 Not when you have nowhere else to go and you lack confidence. Also, trauma comes with ptsd, night terrors, etc. Sometimes, God doesn't heal everyone. It's an individual thing. Yes, you're right. When you know better, you do better. That comes with wisdom. It also comes with favourable circumstances. Like meeting a Dave Meyer. We are not all blessed in that way. Sometimes, people have difficult lives, and they don't see their blessings in the land of the living. That's where faith comes in. Maybe that's God's plan for some people. To not get everything their heart desire but to have faith anyway.

[@Jess-gt5jw]

Yes i totally relate to this absolutely amen.

[@skylerwhite3427]

The take away from this wasn’t that you need a dave Meyer to take care of you. She even said it’s not about trusting men, it’s about trusting GOD. The take away from this was that you can never be happy and selfish at the same time. I’ve been thru childhood abuse too, horribly, and trying to ignore the impulse to be selfish (as in constantly worrying about how to take care of myself) feels like trying to learn to walk with two left feet…Just pour your heart into helping others all you can, pray for others, and trust god to take care of you. That’s all I can say. I’m still trying to get this myself so Idw to give you the impression that I know better or anything. It’s like the recovering alcoholics like to say …” poor me. Poor me. Pour me another drink”

[@NaturalMonty]

Thank you Joyce Meyer for explaining so clearly, the affects of childhood trauma and why you were the way you were. I relate 100%.

[@KandlesWick]

And I know, I appreciate how you do put 110% effort into praying for us and studying the word to telling us things that are important to bring us closer to God. Thank You Joyce ♥

[@ChrisMiroOfficial]

Oh, man. Did this message speak to my heart or what...

[@memedoyou2114]

Thank You Lord Jesus for this Word.

[@JayJay-sm8zy]

We can't be happy and same time be selfish and if you reach out to other people God will take care of you. Amen

Recently, someone was angry with me because I gave away to someone more in need what I had. This person knew that I didn’t have much to give and said it was wrong. I asked how could it be wrong when it felt right doing what Jesus would do? This person didn’t know how to respond.

I love all of Joyce’s messages! New and old. I’d love for the descriptions to add the original dates. Seeing her personal growth in her spiritual, Christian journey and watching her mature in the life with God is such an inspiration for me. Seeing and hearing her explain how God works on all of us individually and never gives up, and waits on us patiently while he also teaches us what we need as long as we put in the work 🙏🏼🙏🏼

It's difficult to live and survive almost alone for years and then learning how to love others wholly. I believe it is possible but it will take self patience and learning to trust God as He leads. When He leads, we may not understand His ways but faith in Him will gradually help us become like Him. Thank you, Joyce!

Love this message! I’ve been in a heartbreaking journey of being separated with the father of my child who has now moved on and chose to respect his new partners feelings over a relationship with his child on top of just heartbreak from the relationship failing & having to walk away. Joyce’s sermons & the talk it out podcast have truly been soo helpful in my journey & reconnecting with God and I can only imagine how many other lives you’ve helped change & the relationships with our GREAT God that have been created & strengthened by your gift.

[@amakaolunkwa1297]

Let teach me by yourself how to be selfless

[@lashellpennington5701]

Mama Joyce, that’s the person who I am. I feel empty when I’m not helpful. I drive a truck 80% of my life. And what drove me on a regular day today was that my family was taking care of. That included my eight siblings And their children as well. I also was able to give to local charities on a regular. People that have helped in my life and has continuingly to help people through their own homegrown organizations. Our house has been empty. My finances has become. And weekly challenge , and I’m starting to feel empty. Because I have no one to help. I am 51 years old. I got in the Trucking because I wanted to build my own daycare. My family needed me. And I was glad to help. I’ve even had my family and other families living under my roof that I have supported. It gave me a reason to wake up and get out of bed, and deal with the nonsense and the evil spirit of the trucking industry in a more of a Christian way. Now I feel as though I just have myself. For some reason, it doesn’t help me. Dealing with self does not bring out the best in me. I would Rather have my life full/distracted and helping others. I felt that that brought out the best in me. It sure put me in a happier mindset about 90%of the time. The other 10% was when I allowed my pride and God had to step in and do tough love. Which I was OK with that. I welcome that because it helped me become a better giver. Also brought me to where I need to be. Staying in my lane as they say.🫶🏾 don’t get me wrong. I will plant seeds here and there. It’s just not on a consistent basis. Like I would like it to be.

I grew up, listening to Joyce. In my young adult years. Up to now and that is the first time I heard that she had a child from that marriage. Maybe it wasn’t listening as well as I thought I had been😊😍

[@hiyahiy]

I almost lost my finger after my mom told me to cut the hedges. I lost so much blood and instead of dropping everything to take me to ER she decided to go back into the backyard to get hedgecutter to put it away first and then change her blouse because she wanted to wear a better looking one. Its still hurtful and upsetting.And she blames me for anything bad thats happens to me saying its probably from some sin I commited. As much as my mother has hurt me through the years I still plan to be there for her when she cannot care for herself because shes my mother andI know it will please God and I also don't want to live with any guilt and regret later in life.

I do that I guess. I’m not used to blessing people on a regular scale at a smaller scale. I’ve always been someone who would give 110%. To people. Because I know that God gave it to me and he could take it away. I have a gift and way with children. So now my prayer is not to allow me to leave this world without my purpose.
