Master Yourself

THROUGH THE ACTIVITY OF THE CREATIVE SPIRIT OF GOD IN ME, I MASTER MYSELF.

Are you the master of yourself? You can be.

Your mind is a mold from which your thoughts and feelings, and thus your world, emanate. If you are dissatisfied with your life as you are presently experiencing it, change the pattern of mind that is producing it.

Imagine yourself as being the master of your life. See yourself as what you want to be. See yourself in the presence of others with poise and self-assurance. See yourself as being successful in all phases of your living. See yourself as a dynamic, enthusiastic master of life—being, doing, having, and enjoying what you choose.

You are what you think you are. Select the pattern of thinking for your mind if you would master life.

Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. So they do it to obtain a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. (I Corinthians 9:25)

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.
