Daily Blessings

Ideas

Lord, I am listening now. Your ways are the highest and the best, and I am ready for the highest and the best.

Have you been waiting for God to speak to you? God is always speaking to us. It is our business to learn how to listen. Ideas flash through our mind, but we are often too busy doing some other job at the moment. After several days or even less, we cannot begin to remember what the ideas were. Sometimes we may feel the urge to help someone, but again we may be busy and think we do not have time—and we turn off God’s guidance.

Many of us keep lists of chores we would like to do or feel we must do. Perhaps we should keep a written list of our messages of inspiration from God. If an idea comes to you while you are busy with another task, jot it down. Whenever you feel the call to do something, put it on your list and take action just as soon as you possibly can.

God is speaking now and always has been. What blessings we will receive as we learn to listen!

And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. (I Samuel 3:10)

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.
