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, What is Love? In our world today,

we hear the word love used so freely. We love food or we love pets. But what is real love?

Joyce helps answer this question as we learn from the Bible what real love is.

We'll also be encouraged to put love into action,

especially with those people in our lives who may be difficult to show love to.

God's love never fails, and because he loves us, we can choose to love others.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

I told you last night that we had quite a day yesterday, and those days just, they bring

that impatience out of me that's still there.

But the good news that I didn't tell you, and I thought about this last night, was the impatience and the

frustration that I felt lasted no more than five minutes, and I was able to work it out

with God and get over it.

You know, 40 years ago, that would have been like a never going away thing.

I would have ruined my day, my week. I would have been like a never going away thing.

I would have ruined my day, my week.

I would have been mean to people.

I would have been rude to people.

I would have felt sorry for myself.

I would have complained and moaned and groaned.

And so we are growing, church.

You're growing, I'm growing.
