Food for the Soul

POSITIVE, PRAYERFUL WORDS SEEP INTO THE DEPTHS OF MY BEING AND AWAKEN THE TRUTH OF GOD WITHIN ME.

After looking up a much-used address over a period of time, suddenly one day we surprise ourselves by knowing it. Never again do we need to refer to the files!

There may also be periods in our life when we need to keep feeding into our mind affirmations of truth. Our inner self does not seem to remember a truth until it is held in our mind and heart for a period of time. Once believed, however, a truth thought then becomes a vital part of our being.

Thoughts of truth are food for the soul. Through spiritual feeding, our souls unfold and develop. We become a step closer to claiming our true spiritual self—a self that is free and unlimited in every way.

Suppose you choose some thought for spiritual food right now. It could be simply: “I am a child of God” or “God fills my every need.” Just as we may add a little dash of seasoning to our food for the body, thus making it suit us, so may we word our truth thoughts. Use your own descriptive words. Let them seep into the depths of your being, awakening the truth that already lies within you.

Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4)

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.
