Daily Blessings

Do Your Best

I DO MY BEST TO FULFILL MY RESPONSIBILITIES. I PUT MY MIND, HEART, AND HANDS INTO MY WORK.

Are you doing your best? No matter how great or humble our calling, we should always do our best.

You dignify your work by putting your mind to it. You become vitalized when you pour your energy into a project. Seeking to do your best will keep you active and wide-awake. You will be alert and aware. Doing your best prepares you for something greater. Higher possibilities and greater opportunities always appear for those who do well with the work they now have.

Each day, in every moment, do the very best you can. Live according to your highest understanding. Seek more understanding daily so that growth is assured.

God has created you to accomplish special things. As you recognize that you are a part of God’s plan, you will want to do your best in whatever you undertake. Doing so will glorify God in the world and in your life.

For God is at work in you. (Philippians 2:13)

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.
