Your God-Given Potential

LORD, I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR WONDERFUL SPIRIT IN ME. I PLACE MY TRUST IN YOU, AND I AM FREE TO BE ME.

Many people plod through life living at half-measures. They are half-awake, half-believing, half-receiving, and half-giving. Certainly there is a better way.

Are you so inhibited that you express no more than half of your real potential? Do you hold back instead of speaking up, afraid of what others will say? Are you fearful of being different? Do you seek to live up to what others expect of you?

It is foolish to compare yourself with anyone else. You are a unique, special person. God’s very own Spirit is within you. Begin to think, express, and do that which is right and good, and uniquely you.

Come alive! Give the beautiful Spirit of God in you freedom to express. Refuse to hold back, and let yourself go with God.

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10)

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.
