Why I love Joyce Meyer!!
One thing that totally impressed me about spending some time with Joyce Meyer these past days was her husband Dave. He is an amazing bloke. He loves the Lord. He is strong and wise, he is humble and gentle. He loves his wife and his family and most of all he has recognized the unique calling God has placed on his wife and released her to be all that she can be for God’s kingdom. I love that. It shines out so brightly in their relationship as a husband and wife. His words to the men of Papua New Guinea this week about how we as men should treat our wives spoke so clearly to a nation.. and to me.
Ephesians 5: 22-28 says..”Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.”
I can see why God is using Dave & Joyce Meyer and their family to impact nations. They are out there putting what they believe into life and into action. I want to thank them for coming to Papua New Guinea and generously giving hope and the great message of God’s grace we have in Christ to the people there. This verse at the beginning of Ephesians 5 sums it up.
Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Godspeed,

Dave and Joyce Meyer seem to have developed a real, deep love for each other and are such a great example to me and my husband. They are a real class act…and such good people, wonderful Christians, and I admire their love for the Lord, and all the work they are doing for Jesus.
