Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional – 10th November 2025 (Monday) Message
TOPIC: You Can Enjoy Your Life
And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. — Genesis 1:31 (ESV)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
When God had completed His six days of creation, He took time to look over everything, and according to the Amplified Bible, He saw that “it was very good, and He validated it completely” (Gen. 1:31). By this time in the creation story, God had already created man and woman (Gen. 1:27). So, when He pronounced that everything was “very good,” it included Adam and Eve, who represent all of humanity. Everyone God made is good, including you and me.

Many people feel worthless, insecure, and unacceptable, which does not agree with God’s opinion of us. He validates us completely. God knows everything about each of us, and He loves us unconditionally. God approves of us; He may not approve of everything we do, but He does approve of who we are as His beloved children. He does not want us to go through life discouraged, disappointed, wounded, or feeling bad about ourselves. He wants us to think about ourselves like He thinks of us.
Throughout His Word, God lets us know what He thinks about us. It says we are fearfully and wonderfully made (Ps. 139:14). It says He rejoices over us with gladness and quiets us with His love (Zeph. 3:17). It promises that He has good plans for us (Jer. 29:11) and that He will complete the good work He has begun in us (Phil. 1:6). It calls us the apple of His eye (Ps. 17:8). And it says that He loves us with an everlasting love (Jer. 31:3). Hopefully you can see that God approves of and enjoys you.
I encourage you to approve of and enjoy yourself as well. This may take some time for you, especially if you have been deeply wounded or if you have experienced things that have made you feel unlovable, unacceptable, or inferior to others. Never base what is true on your feelings, because they don’t always agree with God’s Word.
I had to reach a point in my life where I had to decide to agree with what God’s Word says about me, even though I could have viewed myself as “damaged goods” as a result of sexual abuse by my father. Choosing to enjoy and accept myself is one of the best decisions I have ever made. God does not create anything worthless. He is good, and everything He does is good. We cannot believe that God created us and also believe we are worthless. Begin to accept and enjoy yourself where you are, and God will help you get to where you need to be.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, help me see myself the way You see me—valued, loved, and wonderfully made. Teach me to reject lies and embrace the truth of Your Word, amen.
