Daily Blessings

Change

I GIVE THANKS THAT GOD IS IN CHARGE OF MY LIFE. I FOLLOW AS DIRECTED BY GOD’S SPIRIT AND MAKE WHATEVER CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE.

How do you feel about change? The idea can either be stimulating or depressing. If we meet change with a positive attitude, expecting good results, we will find that everything moves in an orderly way.

Sometimes others may not understand our need for change. It may appear that their lives could be negatively affected. Affirm that God is in charge of every situation in your life. When you are guided to make a change, it will result in the ultimate good of all concerned. Do not judge by appearances, but trust God’s Spirit within each and every person involved to bring forth their good.

Change is a valuable part of your life and world. Welcome it with enthusiasm, and have confidence that God is directing your path.

Therefore, we will not fear though the earth should change. (Psalm 46:2)

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.
