Daily Blessings

Higher Level

I stand strong and fast in my awareness of God’s presence, regardless of what others say or do.

Do you try to get even with people? You cannot get even with those who have offended you through retaliation. Someone’s misbehavior is no reason for you to misbehave as well. To give the offender back in kind is illogical and useless. If you stoop to get even with them, you are lowering yourself to their level.

There is great need in the world today to maintain a high standard of conduct. Look to Christ for goodness and guidance instead of following the example of those in the world who are practicing the old, traditional ways of the cavemen.

Let others rise to your higher level instead of descending to theirs. Learn to stand strong and fast to what you know to be true, and God will take care of the rest.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts. (Colossians 3:15)

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.
