Welcome to Enjoying Everyday Life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series

Ways to Increase Your Happiness.

God is the source of every good thing and believing his word

is the foundation for peace and joy. Our thoughts are connected to our feelings so

if we want to feel better we need to think better. Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

John chapter 12 verse 24, I assure you most solemnly I tell you, most solemnly I tell you.

It's okay occasionally to get solemn in church.

Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just one grain, it never becomes more, but lives by itself alone.

But if it dies, it produces many others and yields a rich harvest.

But I want to encourage you later to just read that scripture over and over and over.

But here's my best shot at an example. This is the seed of a Georgia peach.

My husband lovingly ate the peach this morning,

washed the seed and dried it with a hair dryer.

He is so good. He is just so good.

He is just so good. Now, unless this gets buried in the ground,

it'll always just be this.

Not really that attractive.

So unless you're willing to be buried, so to speak,

you're never going to be anything other than what you are right now.

That's it.

Nothing else.
