Light of God

I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE LIGHT OF GOD THAT ILLUMINES MY LIFE AND DISPELS ALL DARKNESS.

When you turn on the light in a dark room, where does the darkness go? It doesn’t go anywhere, for darkness is not a thing itself—it is only a temporary condition. Once the light shines there is no darkness.

How important that idea is to each of us! Jesus said, “I am the light of the world” and “You are the light of the world.” He also said to let your light shine.

Any undesirable condition is but darkness. Once we turn to our indwelling Christ and allow His presence to illumine our minds and hearts, the darkness disappears. It is as if it did not exist.

Awareness of the presence of God illumines areas of darkness caused by our ignorance or lack of understanding. Your light shines as you accept the reality of God’s presence in you. The dark areas of your life will be illumined and you will go forth free.

Your sun shall no more go down, nor you moon withdraw itself; for the Lord will be your everlasting light. (Isaiah 60:20)

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.
