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

On today's program, Joyce will share how we can discover who God made us to be and live authentically.

God has given each of us unique talents and abilities to fulfill his purposes for our life, but we may not recognize them right away.

We may be feeling pressure to live up to

someone else's expectations, or we might be comparing ourselves to people around us. But there's

good news. God loves us just the way we are. Today, discover how to let God use all of us,

both our strengths and our weaknesses, so we can be transformed by him and used to do something

more wonderful than we could ever dream.

Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching.

This is the 1st Corinthians 13.

If I have all knowledge and have not love, I am a useless nobody.

If you have all knowledge knowledge if you know everything you can have every degree that

exists and if you don't know how to love then the Bible says you're nobody you're nothing so

just let's just think about this for a minute what What would happen if every grade school, every high school, every college, every person who went to those schools, what would happen if they had to take a course in what love is and how to walk in love?

What would happen if they had to take a course in manners?

I mean, you can be smart and still be rude.

You can be very smart and still be obnoxious,

not know how to treat people, not know how to love people.

And so see, if your head knowledge outweighs your spiritual knowledge, are you with me?

If your head knowledge is greater than your spiritual knowledge, then you're already headed for trouble.

People fail at Christianity because they don't educate themselves

in how to be a Christian.
