Do you deal justly with all persons in all circumstances? Those who conduct their lives without regard for that which is just, honest, and honorable are setting up negative results. The law of giving and receiving is always in operation. “As you sow, so shall you also reap.” Thus, life becomes disordered, unsatisfying, and disappointing.
Those who deal justly, honestly, and honorably with others can expect to be bountifully blessed. Consider how you conduct your life. Deal justly with others. Be honest. Give full measure of yourself in loyalty and commitment. Maintain a high level of integrity and uphold all that is Godlike. Your life will be richly blessed, sometimes in unexpected ways.
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.
