Daily Blessings

Greatness

I praise and give thanks for the Spirit of God within me. I diligently and persistently learn to express THE HIGHEST AND BEST.

Are you settling for mediocrity in life? Are you just going along in an average, ordinary way, sort of lukewarm? Or are you taking the time and making the effort to cultivate that seed of greatness that God implanted within you?

Are you inclined to give up or give in, settling for less than the best in life?

There is no need to do so. You have the God-given ability to experience the best that life has to give. You are greater than the things that happen to you. You need not, nor should you, settle for less than you desire in life.

Keeping working toward greater things. You have the seed of greatness within you. Cultivate it. Great good is in store for you. You are a child of God, an offspring of the powerful, loving, creative Spirit of the universe. This means that you have inherited the very nature of God. Let this nature be expressed through you now.

Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree. (Matthew 13:32)

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.
