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

How about if we make a commitment to start investing our time rather than wasting our time?

Because we don't want to come to the end of our life and look back and have nothing but regrets.

I think that is one of the saddest things that can happen to a person.

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

everywhere you hurt. Well I pray that the word this afternoon will be rich and powerful and just exactly what you need to hear to send you home,

ready to face some of the things that you have to deal with, but do it in the way that Jesus

would do it instead of the way that maybe you have been doing it. So we're going to

talk this afternoon about ways to avoid wasting your time.

You know, we only have so much time,

and you think differently about time the older you get.

And by the time you've lived about three-fourths of your life or

two-thirds of your life or whatever you you get to the point where you really

don't want to be wasting your time. If there's things that you want to do,

that you haven't gotten around to do it yet, you want to do them, but you don't want to

waste your time. Well, I'd like to recommend that you never waste your time.

not even when you're in your 20s or 30s, but it does become really important to you the older

that you get. And you may be 20 now but someday you will be 70 and 80

and it will happen faster than you think it will happen and I believe that time is a very precious gift and time

you can either waste it or you can use it wisely. But whatever you spend your time on,

once you've spent it, you cannot get it back. I want you to think about that seriously. If it's an hour or a week or

whatever it is, if you spend three days angry, you've totally wasted those three days and you'll never get those days
