I AM LIFTED UP BY A TRUE DESIRE FOR GOOD IN MY LIFE AND RELATIONSHIPS.

If we constantly find ourselves surrounded by companions we don’t really admire—if we seem to always become involved with weak or negative people—perhaps it is time to take inventory of ourselves. We attract what we are. Our outer world is a reflection of our inner secret self.

This being true, it is quite obvious what needs to take place if we desire a better set of circumstances and a higher type of companions, isn’t it? We must establish within ourselves a sense of harmony and a deep desire for good. We must love life, integrity, peace, and good in every form.

As we become one with these, our life and affairs will express them. Others of like mind will gravitate toward us. We are lifted up, not by outer means, but by a true desire for good, deep within our being. When this desire for good is strong enough, nothing can hold it from us.

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)

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.
