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 the book of Philippians.

We all desire to have more joy in our lives, but there are many things that can easily discourage us.

God has given us tools in his word to overcome this disappointment.

One of those tools is the book of Philippians.

It is full of principles for living a victorious Christian life.

It also contains practical advice for everyday living, and most of all, it's a book about joy.

Be encouraged as Joyce teaches from Philippians chapter by chapter and guides us deeper into the

word. Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching. And then Paul says, I pray that your love would

abound yet more and more. There's so much in that statement, because you know what he's saying?

They were walking in love, and he told them he was proud of them but he said i want your love to

abound he's he's saying i know you're walking in love but i want you to grow in walking in love

you know one of the worst things we can do is get complacent and get satisfied with our stuff

well i'm doing pretty good no no, no, no, no, no. That's not it. I want to do

better. Because I want to glorify God more. I want to abound in love. I really want to learn how

to love people the way Jesus loved people. Can any one of us say that we really

know how to give unconditional love? So much of our love is still based on how people treat us.

So we got to keep growing. We got to keep going after it.

The worst selling book that I ever wrote was on love.

Made me so mad.

Because it was about loving other people. starting a love revolution in your own life.

Thank you.
