Daily Blessings

Enthusiasm

I FAIRLY SIZZLE WITH ZEAL AND ENTHUSIASM, AND I SPRING FORTH WITH A MIGHTY FAITH TO DO THOSE THINGS THAT OUGHT TO BE DONE BY ME.

Are you enthusiastic today? Enthusiasm is the driving power of the mind, a mighty force that enters into every element and faculty. Enthusiasm precipitates action, expression, expansion, and power. You can see why it is important to maintain enthusiasm.

The mind performs wonderfully when enthusiasm is high. Enthusiasm awakens and arouses to full action all of our available forces. The mind, charged with enthusiasm, becomes many times more powerful than before. In addition, enthusiasm lifts the mind to higher levels. It inspires us to see things in light of the greatness and majesty of our wonderful universe. When our minds are thus expanded, our thoughts become extremely powerful.

You can cultivate the quality of enthusiasm. Think about the vast possibilities for your life. Think about the wonderful potential within your mind—your limitless possibilities of achievement. The more you think about greater possibilities, the more your enthusiasm will grow.

And be renewed in the spirit of your minds. (Ephesians 4:23)

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.
