Picture Albums

I see myself in the light of Truth. I know that I have been a BELOVED child of God since the very beginning.

Many of us keep picture albums with highlights of our lives and memories of our family and friends.

Perhaps you are unaware of the album you also have been keeping in your mind and heart. Do you have a rather forlorn picture of yourself at some particular period of your life? Do you constantly see yourself as a neglected or lonely child, or a misused adult? Do you ever recall the picture you made of yourself in an awkward situation? Are these images you would want to put into an album if they could be reproduced as photos? Most likely not, for in our hearts is a desire for the beautiful and the best.

It is time for us to go through that old mental and emotional picture album within us and remove forever those not in keeping with our highest ideal. Let us lovingly replace each one with a true image. Surely we have some pictures of good and joy from every stage of our life.

Deliberately choose pictures of the beauty and goodness in your life to replace any distorted or negative ones that come to your mind. You have always been special and wonderful in the eyes of God. These are the best pictures to remember and review.

But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. (Luke 2:19)

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.
