Daily Blessings

Constructive Thoughts

TODAY I DEVOTE MYSELF TO CONSTRUCTIVE, HAPPY, FAITH-FILLED THOUGHTS.

How many times have you prayed but then lessened the effects of your prayer by allowing doubts and fears to creep into your mind during the day?

After you have finished your morning meditation, keep your thinking constructive, happy, and faith-filled. Carry with you throughout the day the inspiration and encouragement you receive in prayer.

No matter what you are doing—working on your job, cleaning the house, traveling, tending the children—keep your thoughts happy and constructive. When a doubt or fear thought comes to mind, firmly and resolutely put it aside and replace it with a constructive one.

As you do this, you will be a stronger, happier, and more courageous person. Your world will take on more of the good qualities that you hold onto in your thoughts.

And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith. (Matthew 21:22)

Your Divine Plan

By Rev. Joyce Kramer

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.
