Living a Life You Love: Embracing the Adventure of Being Led by the Holy Spirit
by Joyce Meyer
You may say that you love your family, your spouse, your church, or the Lord. You may also express love for more temporal things like a good cup of coffee, your home, or a nice dinner at your favorite restaurant. But it is rarer to truly say "I love my life!"
It's common to be more frustrated with life than at peace with it, because the daily grind wears you down. Responsibilities and burdens become heavy and rob you of the happiness you're meant to have as a child of God. But you can be hopeful, learn to rise above your challenges, and be filled with wonder at what God might do every day.
Written by #1 New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer, who has gone from heartache to happiness through Christ, this book is the key to shifting your perspective so that you may also relish every moment and every part of life.
You will learn how to love life fully, in spite of your obstacles, and experience the happiness that is promised to you.

My Thoughts:
"Living a Life You Love" by Joyce Meyers is a fantastic book with great application for daily living! Their were several chapters in this book that really spoke to me and places where I need to grow. One chapter entitled Don't Poison the Present with the Past, had me thinking about my thoughts about my past and my future. Do I sabotage my future with my past failures, thoughts and mistakes? Or, do I see my future clearly with a vision, living with joy and trusting that God is protecting me? This chapter was a game changer for me.
The other chapter that was a game changer for me is the The Five- Minute Rule, which is all about not spending even five minutes obsessing about something that won't matter five years, five months or five weeks from now. And, I love this chapter! Do you ever have anxious thoughts or worry? They don't matter and you're borrowing troubles from tomorrow that do not matter. Instead, thank God five minutes for all the blessings He has given you. This book is practical and encouraging.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and think it gives practical advice with great application for all areas of your life. I give this book 5/5 stars. A favorable review was not required.
