Daily Blessings

Let Go of the Past

I LET GO OF ALL ADVERSE FEELINGS OF THE PAST. I OPEN MY MIND AND HEART TO AN INFILLING OF GOD’S GOOD.

Holding on to an unpleasant thought is an unprofitable way to spend our time. Life is made miserable by dwelling on past mistakes and negative experiences.

Unhappy people are able to recite mistakes, slights, hurts, and all types of injustices they have experienced. Bitterness of any type deprives us of the opportunity to live effectively.

Let go of the past. Forgive those who seem to have hurt or wronged you. Forgive yourself, too, and remember that no one can hurt you without your consent.

Break down the walls of resistance between you and God’s blessings by letting go of the past. Make yourself ready for good by opening the door of your mind to an infilling of the beauty, joy, and love of God.

You will be secure and will not fear. You will forget your misery; you will remember it as waters that have passed away. And your life will be brighter than the noonday. (Job 11:15-17)

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.
