Sitting at my desk I am looking over some of the odds and ends and bits of paper and notes that surround me! It seems that any time God speaks profoundly to me I simply MUST put it in writing and tape it or lay it some place of prominence! Many places throughout my home I have little post-it notes, taped messages from God to me and more.

Just now I looked at a tattered strip of paper with the scripture from 2 Timothy 1:7. I can recall the very time in my life when God gave me this verse as a powerful encouragement to press on! In the King James version, the scripture reads,

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

When I am feeling confused or 'wishy-washy'...this scripture reminds me of how I am made and just how God has equipped me and wants me to serve Him!

NO FEAR but...

POWER

LOVE

and

SOUNDNESS OF MIND.
