Exception Living

Reading from Joyce Meyer's book 'Exceptional Living'

  1. Trials develop patient - patient with people, patient with circumstances.
    • We spend more time in life waiting than receiving so we might as well enjoy ourselves when God works out our problem
  2. Realize in life that not everything changes. Something won't change. So have peace and be patient with yourself.
  3. Waiting destroys pride
  4. You can't just dump everything on a person at once. If things are not done it's God's timing, then we hurt other people. We destroy them and it's too much for them to handle.
  5. One of the greatest way to show loves to others is be patient with them, including their fault and weaknesses and their slowness.
Peace
  1. Let go of past mistakes and press towards the future.
  2. You have to hurt to get free. At least you are heading a victory. Your pain is not wasted.
  3. Let people be who they are. Trying to control them will steal your peace.
  4. Be generous & forgiving. Don't become angry every time you do not get your way. it is very hard on the relationship.
