Daily Blessings

Hope

I GIVE THANKS THAT I AM A CHILD OF GOD, A CHANNEL FOR GOOD.

The love and encouragement we give to others may make a tremendous difference in their lives. Love and hope are certainly the two greatest gifts that we could ever offer.

Many successful people give credit to someone who encouraged them or lifted them up in a time of need or despair. People often reach for pills, alcohol, another cigarette, or an extra piece of pie—when what would really satisfy is hope.

Can you be the one to give hope? Where do we obtain this gift? Where does hope exist? Within the believing heart. Every heart that believes beyond a shadow of a doubt that the very Spirit of God is within—to guide, to inspire, to sustain forever—has hope! If you have hope—share it and be blessed.

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)

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.
