I Needed to Listen

2 Timothy 1:3-7

Verse 7: For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but a spirit of power, love and self-discipline.

Gods words are important, they change our hearts.  When our hearts are changed our lives are changed. 

God is in control of everything that happens to me.  Do not be fearful, even of satan, he cannot touch me because I belong to God.

God has not given me a spirit of fear, He has given me a spirit of Love.  It is God's love that motivates us to do the work of the church.  Not because we want to, it is Gods love that makes us do it. 

We need to remember that not only do we have God's love, but we have God's power too.  When we try to do things in our own power, we mess up. Along with His power, He gives us a sound mind; that is the result of Gods power and love.  He helps us to do His work.

God has promised He will never leave me nor forsake me.

God is my leader and guides me with His Word.  God's Word is important for me to grow.

I have no fear today because God has given to me His love, power and as a result I have a sound mind

If I am afraid, then I do not have Gods love in my heart.

Thank you Joan......I needed to listen.
