Daily Blessings

Giving

GOD, I GIVE FREELY AND JOYOUSLY, AND I RECEIVE RICH, ABUNDANT BLESSINGS YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME.

Have you inwardly resented the high-pressure tactics used by some groups to get you to give or pledge money? Do you give to a certain place because you feel forced or obligated?

Most of us have experienced an unpleasant sense of obligation to contribute to various causes. Yet we must exercise care to not let wrong methods sour us on the idea of giving.

Everything in our universe, everything in ourselves, is based on the law of giving and receiving. We breathe in and out, our hearts beat, the tides ebb and flow, there is action and reaction. Through giving we align our affairs with this universal law of rhythm—giving and receiving. Give to fulfill the law we live under and to activate God’s blessings in your life. Give wisely—not indiscriminately. Give to the group or organization that provides you with spiritual understanding and helps you to live a more God-like life.

To receive help from one doctor and pay another would seem ridiculous indeed. To give to a group just because you feel obligated or pressured, or to keep up appearances, denies you the opportunity of fulfilling this law of giving and receiving.

Give willingly, freely, and joyously to God’s work. This opens the door to receive increased blessings. Help provide expanded service that others may be blessed as you are.

You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” (II Corinthians 9:7)

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.
