Freedom of Spirit

I AM CLEANSED OF ALL PAST MISTAKES AND PERFECTED IN ALL WAYS THROUGH CHRIST WITHIN ME.

Sometimes after using an eraser a smudge still mars the paper. We may feel that the mistake is still obvious, even when the mark is faint and hardly noticeable to one who is unaware of our blunder.

We may also imagine that a mistake of our past has left a smudge for the whole world to see. This cannot be when we have truly forgiven ourselves—for God erases perfectly and completely and leaves no trace of the error that once was. All is made new in the light of Spirit and thoughts are no longer in bondage to the past.

We are free indeed as we learn to live in the freedom of Spirit. Knowing we are vehicles of divinity frees us from all limited mortal concepts that we are personally alone, with mortal tendencies to hold our errors close to us. The expression of Divine Spirit through us is perfect. Our life is beautiful indeed as we learn to let go of the past and allow God to express all the qualities of good through us.

You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” (II Corinthians 9:7)

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.
