Daily Blessings

Decisions

THANK YOU, GOD, FOR THE GOODNESS AND CERTAINTY OF YOUR LAW.

Do you have an important decision to make? The universe operates according to the laws of cause and effect as taught by Jesus Christ. To make a decision in which you will receive your highest good, it must be based on God’s laws of Truth.

For example, if you were going to sell a house, it would be wise to pick a price that would be fair to you and fair to the buyer. Following such principles, you would see that the decision would be for your own highest good.

There is a true story in which a man had been trying to sell a house for some time, but not even one person had looked at it. One day after talking with a minister, the man realized he had succumbed to the emotion of greed in asking an unfair price for the house. He then changed the price to a more reasonable one. Soon after, a family appeared. They were satisfied with the house and felt the asking price was fair, and they quickly became the new owners.

When you live according to the Truths taught by Jesus Christ, your decisions will be for your own highest good.

You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more. (Psalm 16:11)

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.
