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.

So, I would drive down the highway at night coming home from work, smoking a cigarette, saying,

I don't smoke.

I hate to smoke.

Cigarettes stink.

They make me stink. I... I hate to smoke, cigarettes stink,

they make me stink.

I quit smoking.

Okay, do you know that within two weeks I quit?

Now I mean, I'm really, if I can get this across to you today, I am giving you a big secret of how to have victory over any sin in your life.

I am more than a conqueror, greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world.

Come on.

Now, you might have to do that for six months or a year, but who cares?

At least you're making some progress in the right direction.

You're not staying in the same place all the time.
