Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, keys to loving your journey.

In John 1010, Jesus tells us that he came and died for us so that we can have and enjoy our life to the fullest until it overflows.

And I think we need to learn to love things and to vocalize it.

So I've been training myself.

I'm not up very long until I say out loud, I love you, Lord, I receive your love, I love myself,

I love my life, I love my family, I love my work. And then throughout the day, I will say things like, I love my home,

thank you. I think we need to get more love language. Come on. Would you be willing to maybe just

start talking about that more? I think if you'll start talking about it more,
