Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer. On today's

program, Joyce will be teaching about change. This time of year, we all take stock and evaluate the changes

we like to make in our lives. Today, Joyce is here to remind us that as we trust in the Lord,

he is able to change us from the inside out.

So be encouraged as you seek him to do a new thing in this new year.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Well, there's a lot of things that change throughout our life, isn't there?

We change. You know, isn't there? We change.

You know, as you get older, you change your mind about things.

Like, when somebody's in their 20s,

they can't understand wanting to stay home every night and, you know, rest. And, you know, rest.

And, you know, with the time you get to be around 50, 60, you're like, nah, I don't want to go.

I think I'll just stay home.

The people in our life changes, and sometimes that's challenging for us because they change and

maybe we don't want them to change however we do have to respect people's right to make changes

in their lives our kids grow up and leave home.

Sometimes that makes you happy.

Sometimes it don't.

And, you know, they get families of their own, and then things change, and they don't.

Especially if you have a real close relationship with your children,

and they don't have the same amount of time for you that they once did, and that's challenging.

And I remember, well, I call my baby, he's 44 now, but we had three children, and then 10 years later had him.
