Improve Your Life

I IMPROVE MY LIFE BY CONSCIOUSLY TAKING CONTROL OF MY MIND.

There is something you can do right now to improve your life—regardless of the condition, situation, or problem you are presently experiencing. You can improve your life by changing the quality of your thoughts. You have absolute control of your mind and its activities. What goes on in your mind determines what you experience in your world. As you think, so does it come to pass.

Thought attention given to negative, worry thoughts will bring to us those things we do not want. If we reverse our thought attention, placing it upon desired good, we will see negative conditions quietly disappear.

Refuse to feel hopeless or helpless in any situation. You have a constructive means of coping. Begin your work on the inside, changing the quality of your thoughts, thus opening the way for you to experience outer good. You can improve your life by consciously taking control of your mind. Persistently give your thought attention to the good in life you desire, and you will experience it.

The Father worketh even until now, and I work. (John 5:17)

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.
