Daily Blessings

Imagination

Thank You, God, for the wonderful gift of imagination. I use it wisely and well.

A hammer can be used to break a fine piece of porcelain, or it can be used to build a home. Our imagination, if not controlled, can destroy friendship, cause riots, and bring much destruction—or this wonderful gift can inspire us to creative action and fruitful living.

It is with our imagination that we build new worlds, that we achieve the “unheard of.” We often hear it asked, “Can you imagine that?” Well, if we can imagine anything, the real work has already been done. For whatever we truly can imagine is but a step away from manifestation.

Can you imagine health? Picture yourself as an alive and vital person contributing to your world. You will be! Can you imagine prosperity for yourself? If not, why not? Can you really imagine your loving Creator denying you that which you need for happiness? Imagine and believe in your good and it is yours!

Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts. (Proverbs 4:23)

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.
