Take Charge

I TAKE CHARGE OF MY THOUGHTS, AND I DWELL ONLY ON THAT WHICH IS TRUE AND GOOD.

There is one area of your life where you are undisputedly the boss. You are in charge of your own thinking process. No one can make you think anything you do not want to think. You have the total power to choose.

What are you living with in your thought life? Many people dwell on regrets and resentments of years past. They keep these old grievances alive by thinking about them. You don’t need to live this way. Learn to take conscious charge of your thoughts. Think on those things that are good and true—and relevant to your everyday life and experiences.

If you seek to become conscious of the activity of God in your life today, then base your thoughts on this understanding. God works in your life as a dynamic power for good. Let your thought center around these ideas and you will be uplifted, blessed, and successful.

Choose this day whom you will serve. (Joshua 24:15)

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.
