Valid and Practical
"If we love aggressively, we will resist strife every time," Joyce Meyer writes near the end of the book. The theme is that by seeking peace, the quality of life increases and joy is manifested. As in her other books, the subject matter is one she has lived out in her own life, overcoming numerous obstacles that prevented her for the peaceful/joyful life she describes. She points out it isn't necessarily easy to begin the process of pursuing peace, but through focused discipline it can be achieved and is well worth the process.

"Envy and jealousy are open doors for strife," she points out. By taking thoughts into captivity, negative thoughts can be replaced with God-given thoughts that produce joy. She points out that the devil doesn't want the possessions of a person, but seeks to steal one's joy because the joy of the Lord is our strength.

Part of obtaining joy is to overlook other people's shortcomings. We all have them. She encourages you to be generous in granting mercy and being long-suffering. Forgiveness is emphasized. It should be given frequently and quickly.

In one section of the book she talks about the mysterious way God works in one's life, that often we do not understand at the time what He is doing. The implication for relationships is that sometimes people need to have some slack in their lives as they may be struggling with issues that are unresolved.

A powerful nugget she leaves is, "Rather than trying to make someone treat you fairly, pray for them, and trust God to take care of you."
