Fan into flame my gift which I have given to you through praying and the laying on of hands. I have not given you a spirit of fear but of power love and self control. I have called you to be holy not because of any works you will do but of my purpose for this world to see my grace reflected in you. Don’t ever be ashamed because you find faith in the one who made you believe. I will forever guard you and everything I am trusting to you. My dear child find your strength in knowing the grace that I have for you. Share in the suffering of others because of the way I shared in yours. Keep enduring for the sake of those who are unsaved so that you will find them also in eternal glory. Because you have died with me, you will live with me. If you endure with me through it all we will one day reign together. But if u deny me I will also deny you. When you loose your faith know that I will always be faithful. Don’t find yourself in arguments with others. It does no good for you or them. You should stand tall and know I have already approved you for work so you should never feel ashamed when speaking words of truth. Please avoid gossip because it will lead your mind and others minds away from me. Gossip will spread like an infection.
I know that you are mine because you stand on my foundation. I have set you apart as holy and ready for every good work that I have for you. Run away and leave behind the passions and desires from your past. Pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace with the people I have places into your life. Make sure that it comes from a pure and clean heart. I have let you know that all who desire to live for me will be persecuted. Please preserver in what you have learned so far and all that you believe. I have equips you with the word of truth and those words will make you wise. Please use wisdom to teach, correct and train in righteousness. I have asked you to preach this news to the world around you and to be ready in every season using patience. Be ready to be poured out at any moment as an offering to me. I have a crown of righteousness waiting for you. Always be sober minded, doing the work of an evangelist. (2 Timothy)
I love you guys so much and would not be the woman of God I am today without you all. Thank you for your patience, for being vulnerable, loving me through all circumstances and encouraging me to be bold and courageous! The Lord has molded us and is continuing to shape out lives and I thank him that he uses you guys as his tools.
