~Grasp Truth~

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7

Wow! What a powerful message in that short bible verse! Break it down with me...

Our God...our Father who never fails us...who looks at us as His children as a loving and just Dad...who will correct us when we sin in a compassionate way...is NOT a Father of fear...

Our Daddy (God) wants us to know that He stands with us through ANYthing that we face in life...ANYthing!!!...loss of job...loss of a loved one...cancer...brain tumors...children who are living for themselves...divorce...the unknown...Our Father God is right there with us...

Father God has given us POWER...His mighty prevailing power...all we need to do is call on Him...our God NEVER fails us...in Him we have the strength to take on...the world...for as Jesus said, "Take heart for I have overcome the world" (found in John). That promise gives us so much confidence...and POWER of God our Daddy Father...

The Love through God should be so evident in our lives...it should shine through our entire being...causing people to reach out for that love...seeking to understand how such love can be so real...compassion that we receive only through Jesus...live love!!!

Oh and a sound mind...only in Father God can we acquire a sound mind...He gives us the peace that passes ALL understanding...His peace is ALL we have in this day of such uncertainty...we can take heart in knowing that God is in control of EVERYthing...even when all around us seems so empty, discouraging, or hopeless...we have the HOPE and true PEACE that will give us the sound mind...in Father...

Know the truth of 2 Timothy 1:7~~take hold of it~~write it in year heart and mind!
