Daily Devotional From Joyce Meyer
Love is the energy of life. It's what motivates people to get up each day and keep going. It gives life purpose and meaning.
People often have times in their lives when they believe they are unloved or have no one to love. They develop this mindset because they are looking for fulfillment in ways that seem good at first but often leave them feeling frustrated, disappointed and empty inside.
Does this ever happen to you? Do you ever look for love and end up feeling unfulfilled? Let me ask you this: What kind of love are you pursuing?
You may be looking for love, but really, you're looking for God, because He is love. Any love you gain that is disconnected from God is not really love and will leave you feeling unfulfilled.
The Bible says that in Him we live, move, and have our being. That tells me that without Him, life is not complete.
Everyone is looking for love, but are you looking for God's love? It's the only love that matters, the only love that lasts, and the only love that fulfills.

"My Glam" Goodies
Finally, I've received my goodies from My Glam and I am impressed with the items ... although they took 2 payments out of my account on accident. (I immediately unsubscribed due to the mishap) However, I must say the items they sent are good. I just may reconsider. Check them out below ..

Understand Grace, Walk In Faith
Daily Devotion From Joyce Meyer
Most of us are aware that it is by the grace that we are saved, but I wonder how many people truly understand the power of God's grace.
Everything we receive from God must come by grace through faith. But all knowledge of faith must be built on a clear understanding of grace, because even faith comes to us by grace, as a gift.
When you understand grace, you can walk in faith and receive God's blessings.
God's grace isn't complicated or confusing. It is simple, and that's why many people miss it. There is nothing more powerful than grace. Everything in the Bible, salvation, the infilling of the Holy Spirit, fellowship with God and all victory in our daily lives, is based on it. Without grace, we are nothing, we have nothing, we can do nothing.
Today, don't just hear about grace, but understand that everything in our lives depends not on our merits or abilities or works, but on God's willingness to use His infinite power to meet our needs. This is grace.
Focus on that truth today, and watch your faith grow.

Facing the Cost of Self-Discipline
Daily Devotion From Joyce Meyer
As Christians, many of us have the idea that everything in our lives should be perfect simply because we are Christians. But Jesus clearly warned us, "in the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration!"(John 16:33 AMP).
Jesus said we would have to deal with worldly troubles. These things are a part of life that we must all face when we lay down our selfish desires to follow Him.
The apostle Paul wrote, "But {like a boxer} I buffet my body {handle it roughly, discipline it by hardships} and subdue it!" (1 Corinthians 9:27).
Paul is speaking here about self-discipline. Being self-disciplined means laying down our sinful desires and doing the right thing by God's grace, no matter what the cost.
It's not always easy. Dying to self will bring necessary suffering, but remember, even in the face of our suffering, there is hope, for Christ has overcome the world. And like Paul side, we can "rejoice and exulting hope; be steadfast and patient in suffering and tribulation; be constant in prayer."
