Time

I work efficiently and effectively with joy and enthusiasm this day.

Lack of time is not the problem we think it is. We all have the same amount of time. How well we use our time is the key to how well we get along in life. People who are using their time constructively take no time to talk about their lack of it.

Time is a segment of eternity to be lived fully, free from bondage to the past or future. Wasted time is wasted life.

Instead of deliberating, dreading, and thinking about what needs to be done, do the thing you decide is most important to do. Learn to use constructively the leftover bits and pieces of time in your day.

Take time to live—your secret of success.
Take time to think—the source of power.
Take time to play—the secret of perpetual youth.
Take time to read—a foundation of knowledge and wisdom.
Take time to pray—the greatest power on earth.
Take time to love—in order to be loved.

Yes, there is time for you to do all you want to do. Use your time wisely.

The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty. (Proverbs 21:5)

Your Divine Plan

By Rev. Joyce Kramer

Transcript of a radio broadcast by Rev. Joyce Kramer, January 21, 2014.

What do you want out of life? Do you know? Few people have any real concrete picture of just what they want out of life. Consequently it seems that they live at the mercy of someone or something other than themselves. Thus we have the belief that we are the victim of things over which we have little or no control.

Each and every person is created with the ability and the power to determine his own future. Man is not at the whim of fate, luck, or chance. Neither is he created to be at the mercy of another person [ . . .]

The Joyce Kramer Ministries logo depicts a dogwood tree planted across the entrance to the church that Rev. Kramer founded in Virginia Beach. Transplanted from her brother’s property in Charlottesville, for eighteen months the tree seemed nothing more than a lifeless stick in the ground. Finally, on a Wednesday afternoon, the decision was made to dig it up, but the lawn maintenance man did not have a shovel with him. The next week, he said, he would come back and discard the dead tree. But that Sunday when Rev. Kramer arrived at church, she noticed a single leaf had appeared on the otherwise barren stick. They left the tree in place, and it grew into one of the most beautiful on the property. This flowering dogwood represents the message of Joyce Kramer Ministries: Growth is always possible; never give up.
