Your body is a “temple of the living God.” Therefore, it is important to keep it clean, pure, and beautiful.
Your body is highly responsive to your suggestions and attitudes toward it. How often do you suggest tiredness to your body? How often do you suggest the belief that it is growing older or that it is sick?
Understand the nature of your body and do not abuse it. It is the abiding place for the very Spirit of God. It is made up of intelligent cells that respond to your commands. Direct it wisely. Urge and encourage your body to manifest the perfect nature of God that is within you.
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.
