Daily Blessings

Express Your Joy

I rejoice in the knowledge that God is at work in every situation in MY LIFE. I express MY joy, and I AM richly blessed.

In the scriptures, we find much emphasis placed upon the quality of joy. Are you living a happy, joy-filled life? Do you find laughter easy for you, a part of your nature?

Learn to laugh! Laughter is good therapy. It softens and releases worry, fear, and tension which prevent us from expressing our natural joy. Not only is laughter a blessing to oneself, it also is very contagious. It helps to uplift the spirits of others.

Human beings are the only creatures on earth with the capacity of true laughter. Let us learn to exercise this gift of God and express our joy each day.

I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. (John 15:11)

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.
