Identity in Christ

2 Timothy 1:7 (WEB)

For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

Reflection

Timidity is not your inheritance. God wired you with power to overcome, love to share freely, and self-discipline to stay the course. The next time you feel like shrinking back, remember that the Spirit inside you is the opposite of fear.

Prayer

Holy Spirit, stir up the power, love, and self-discipline You've placed inside me. I refuse to live timidly when You've equipped me to live boldly.
