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, Enjoying Successful Relationships.

Our relationships are such an important part of our lives. We'd prefer all our relationships to be positive,

but what about those who bring us stress or just kind of get on our nerves?

How can we be in a relationship with them?

Thankfully, God's Word is filled with the answers we need to have healthy relationships, no matter how those around us behave.

Today, Joyce will share some of the ways we can all work toward having more joy and peace with everyone in our lives. Now here's Joyce with the series, Enjoying Successful Relationships.

Some of the things that have been the most important to me in my walk with God.

Number one, we talked about last night learning how to keep God first.

Was there anybody here that was a little convicted by that last night?

You're going to maybe rework a few priorities in your life and give God the place that

he deserves.

Number two, learning how to be honest with yourself about yourself.

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

Number three, learning to know who you are in Christ and how to separate who you are from what you do.

So now we're going to go on to the next two or three things that I think are very important for all of us to know.

And the first one that I want to talk to you about is just love.

It's actually the answer to finding our self-worth.

Everybody in the world just wants to be valuable.

We just want to know that we matter. We want to know that we mean

something to somebody. And sadly, if people don't get a good start in life, they can waste,

yes, I said waste, their whole entire life searching for self-worth, and they look for it in all the wrong places in what they do, the people they know, the label in their clothes, how they look.
