Daily Blessings

Hope

I give encouragement and hope through my spoken word this day.

It is our obligation to the world to uplift others all that we can. We can do so as we liberally sprinkle such words as hope, expect, good, confident, faith, and love in our daily conversations. Do you ever remember getting a tremendous lift from being in the presence of a positive person? Oftentimes it makes our day.

You can help make somebody’s day better by the words you use. Remember not to plant fear and failure in your mind, or in the minds of others, by using such expressions as, “I’m afraid I can’t go” or “I’m afraid such and such will happen.” Nor should we get into the habit of saying, “I hate to do this or that” or “I can’t do this or that.” These phrases of speech pull us down into depression eventually, as well as those around us.

Instead, choose uplifting words and consciously plant them today. Your blessings to others, and to yourself, will never cease.

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)

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.
