Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 4 May 2026 (Monday) Message
TOPIC: Love People, Not Things
But if anyone has this world’s goods…and sees his brother…in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him?…Let us not love [merely] in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth. — 1 John 3:17-18 (AMPC)
What is confidence? It has been defined as the quality of assurance that leads one to undertake something; the belief that one is able and acceptable; the certainty that causes one to be bold, open, and plain.
The devil begins his assault on personal confidence wherever he can find an opening, especially during the vulnerable years of childhood. His goal is to undermine the person because an individual without confidence will never fulfill the plan of God for his life.
Christ is in you, ready to help with everything you do for Him. Jesus can restore your confidence and give you the strength, power, and boldness to do what you could never do on your own. Be confident—it is part of your spiritual inheritance!
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, help me love people the way You do. Open my heart with compassion and teach me to give generously, trusting You to provide all I need, amen.
