Education

I AM A STUDENT ON THE PATHWAY OF LlFE.

Many people feel a sense of insecurity because they believe their education is inadequate. Lack of formal education has been used an excuse for almost everything. Yet, it is a totally false explanation for failure.

Education comprises the sum total of what we know. It does not consist in just attending school or college. We can do a great deal toward self-education through reading, studying, observing, listening, and reflecting. Refuse to go through life lazily, with eyes that don’t see and ears that don’t hear.

True education takes effort and self-discipline as we work to overcome idle, careless habits. Refuse to accept a present weakness as lasting. Work to overcome it. Exercise your mental and spiritual muscles. Do the things you need to do to overcome your sense of inadequacy and insecurity. Remember that through the activity of Christ in you, you can become the person you want to be.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)

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.
