How to Love People, Forgive, and Stop Comparing: Joyce Meyer

Insights

The Power of Love and Forgiveness

😊 The biggest spiritual secret in the Bible is to overcome evil with good and love people who are mean or not so good to you.

πŸ™ Believers have the responsibility to show love to others because God works through them.

πŸ’– “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners can love those who love them back.” – Joyce Meyer emphasizes the importance of loving those who are difficult to love.

🍎 Patience is a key aspect of love, and continuously forgiving someone for the same mistake is a testament to true forgiveness.

πŸ’” “You don’t know what love is until you go through some things with people and you put up with some stuff and you forgive them over and over and over and you learn how the two can become one.”

πŸ’” The love that God requires us to have for others is not based on what they deserve, but on the divine love that God has for us.

πŸ’ͺ Overcoming evil with good is a powerful spiritual secret that can transform our relationships and bring healing, even towards those who have hurt us.

6.4 God made a covenant with Abraham, requiring circumcision as a sign, and the speaker questions why Noah received a rainbow while Abraham received circumcision.
