Quiet Spirit

IN QUIETNESS, I AM CALM AND UNDISTURBED. I AM GRATEFUL FOR GOD’S LOVING, HEALING SPIRIT IN ME.

Many difficulties in the world are the result of hurt feelings and concern about what other people say and do. Why should we let the problems of others become our own?

So what if your neighbor acts unneighborly? So what if someone doesn’t take your advice? So what if someone seems preferred before you? These things do not really matter. Not one of them is essential to your well-being. Don’t worry yourself by pretending that they are important. Why should your emotions be at the mercy of other people?

To fear loss, to be hurt, to bemoan the actions of others will simply attract more things that correspond to these inner thoughts and feelings. Find a place of quietness within yourself where you can remain calm and undisturbed. Then seek only the good, the Kingdom of God in you, and you will attract life, peace, and plenty.

But none of these things move me. (Acts 20:24)

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.
