Daily Blessings

Live Today

I GIVE THANKS FOR THIS NEW AND PERFECT DAY FILLED WITH THE PROMISES OF GOD’S GOODNESS AND LOVE.

We limit our present-day experiences when we focus on the past. The past does not control the present, yet we ignorantly allow it to restrict our lives. Some people seem to enjoy holding on to negative feelings as indicated by their conversation habits, often talking about disappointments, frustrations, resentments, and problems.

Dwelling on the past makes life ineffective today. You are a different person now, and so are the other people that your negative feelings center around. Emotional reactions of the past should not be carried over into our present-day experience. Why be dominated by the ignorance of your earlier, more immature days?

Today is the only day you can live. Give your full attention to living well now, for today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. (II Corinthians 6:2)

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.
