2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Speaking to a friend tonight I was reminded of this verse which I really should be able to remember better than I do!
For many years God has been the one watching over me all the time, protecting me, guiding me and teaching me. He is the one who has given me a spirit within me that gives me the power to go forward, to love people openly and to be able to talk to them about the many ways that He works in my life.
I am not a great public speaker, nor a philosopher; but God allows me to teach others the gospel!
