Daily Blessings

Desire

I give thanks for God’s unlimited abundance of good everywhere present.

What is your desire? God’s unlimited supply of good is ours for the asking. Why do we sometimes hesitate to ask? Perhaps it is because we do not know what we really want. We change our minds before we ever arrive the point of asking. This is probably fortunate, for many would ask for things that are not suitable or wise. We are prone to desire, at times, what our friends have. We may think we want something for our personal happiness or our sense of security, but we are bound to be disappointed it we ask for these reasons alone.

We are told in Scripture that in order to receive our good, we must believe that we will receive. Deep within us we must believe that what we ask for is good for us. We ask most wisely when we do not limit the sources or the amount. Say, “This, Lord—or something better or more suitable for me at this time.”

Trust God to send the very best at the right time for your enrichment and growth. God’s wisdom is perfect. God’s timing is always in divine order. Give thanks for God’s unlimited abundance of good everywhere present.

Find your delight in the Lord who will give you your heart’s desire. (Psalm 37:4)

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.
