Possibilities

GOD HELPS ME TO SEE AND MAKE THE MOST OF THE GREAT POSSIBILITIES IN MY LIFE.

Are you in a situation that you would rather not be in, such as an unpleasant job or relationship? Perhaps you have been concentrating on the negatives, which has closed your mind to the possibilities. The Spirit of God is guiding you, and there are great possibilities where you are.

The classic story, Acres of Diamonds, by Russell H. Conwell tells of a man obsessed with the desire to make a fortune by discovering diamonds. He sold his successful farm and spent the rest of his life in search of the elusive jewels. Later it was discovered that the very farm he sold became one of the richest diamond mines in history. What he sought, literally, had always been in his own backyard. Don’t be like him.

Do not give up on the possibilities of your current situation. Look for the good and believe it is there. Where you are now may be the training ground for a greater opportunity in the future. So, stick to it and look for the possibilities.

Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” (Matthew 19:26)

Your Divine Plan

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.
