Daily Blessings

Giving

I give freely of all the good that God has given to me. I become perfectly balanced, joyous, and free!

The act of giving involves much more than money. We can give inspiration to those who need it. We can share a laugh or smile with the heavyhearted. We can give our attention to one who needs desperately to be heard and appreciated as an individual. We can give hope. We can give compassion. We can give of our special talents and abilities.

If we are not giving, we cannot receive and thus we lose our balance. The result may be illness, poverty, or unhappiness. These symptoms can be used as valuable warning signals, however, telling us that we have become unbalanced and need to do something about it.

Nothing outside of ourselves can bring our lives into balance—not all of the doctors, friends, or material things in the world. We must adjust the scales within our own being. We can do so by living in the conscious awareness of Divine Spirit dwelling within us. God will guide us into the ways of giving, and our returns will pour down upon us in a splendid array of good.

One gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor. (Proverbs 11:24)

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.
