Spiritual Lights

Thank You, GOD, for those who are spiritual lights among us. I give thanks, too, for my own growing awareness of Your Presence and Power.

The clothing we wear not only protects our bodies, but also often serves as a means of identification. We recognize many occupations by uniforms and specific articles of clothing. Pieces of jewelry identify social, fraternal, and religious organizations, and even one’s marital status. Actually, we can tell a lot about people by their outer appearance, can’t we?

Can we also identity those who are aware of their true spiritual nature? There is no special uniform; there is no piece of jewelry to set them apart. But if you look carefully, you can recognize those who are spiritually awake and aware. There is a glow about them. There is an inner joy that seems to overflow. They have a zest for living and a deep sense of peace surrounding them. There is a confidence about the spiritually aware, making us feel that even what the world considers disastrous would not destroy them.

There is a special kind of beauty surrounding the men, women, and children who know they are one with the Father. Let us all be still and know.

“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.” (Psalm 37:7)

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.
