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 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.

So I'm going to do a little object lesson here tonight, and I'm going to wash three people's feet,

and each one of them represents a group of people, and we'll see that even if we ever get around to being willing to wash feet,

then we might be willing to wash some feet but not other feet.

Now I guess I shouldn't assume that you all know what I'm talking about,

but surely you know that this is not really about washing feet, don't you?

I mean, you do know that he did this as an example to show people how they were to live.

And the message here is learn to be a servant.

Learn to serve other people.

You say, well, I want to be in the ministry.

Well, the word minister means servant.

Most people want to be famous.

And that's okay as long as you want to be famous.

And that's okay as long as you want to be famous in heaven and you're not concerned about being famous here.

Let me tell you something.
