This program is made possible by the partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

If we're not going to do what Christians are supposed to do, which is to be a follower of Jesus, what does it mean to be a Christian?

It doesn't just mean repeating a prayer at an altar.

I'm Joyce Meyer, and I believe that God can heal you

everywhere you hurt.

Thank you for joining me today on enjoying everyday life. You know, there's so many wonderful things in the Word of God. I don't think we would ever

run out of topics, but I do try to always really search my heart and spend time with God to

make sure I have what I would refer to as a word in due season. And I think that today's message,

and I'll be continuing it tomorrow, will be that for you. You know, we cannot have a perfect

performance. We have flesh and bone bodies, and as long as we have them, we're always going to make mistakes.

And thankfully, Jesus has already paid for every mistake that we ever will make.

And so you might say the blood is in the bank.

It's there.

And we can make a withdrawal anytime we're willing to repent of anything that we've done.

Admit it, take responsibility for it.

So we cannot have a perfect performance, but we can have a perfect heart.

And so I want to talk today about what would be the characteristics of a perfect heart.

God tells us that he loves a peaceful and a quiet and a gentle heart, one that is not anxious or wrought up.

And so he likes, you might look at it like, if any of you have children now, you get little children,

or you've raised little children, you might remember saying, I just want some peace in this house.

Well, we are the home of God.

The Holy Spirit lives in there, uh when we're all upset and wrought up and anxious and angry and mad maybe he would say the same thing to us can we have a little peace in
