Exceed Your Best

I ATTUNE MYSELF WITH THE UPWARD, ONWARD, PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT OF GOD’S SPIRIT.

It is wonderful to know that whatever we do in life, whether in our business, our home, or our hobbies, we can always do better. The best is yet to be.

Whatever you have done up to now, you can do better. We should constantly work to improve whatever we do. The writer works to make the next story better than the preceding one. The speaker prepares to deliver a more effective talk than ever before. The salesperson works to top previous records. All of life is onward and upward. Nothing stands still; therefore, think of improving on your current best.

Through the power of God’s Spirit in you, you have the ability to rise higher in what you set out to do. The urge of God within you is helping move you forward to exceed what you previously thought possible.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)

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.
