God Gave

Today’s Encouragement is 2 Timothy 1:7 “…for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”

God Gave-

God GAVE – He has, now/already (not a future someday) given to us (this gift), A spirit of power, of love, and of self-control.  And thankfully ‘not of fear’. 

Consider this for just a moment –

You have, now/already, residing within you – the Holy Spirit, the gift of God, already given… And this is a spirit of Power.  A spirit of Love.  And a spirit of self-control.  Already.

God said this, not me. 

Now we don’t very often “feel” like this, powerful, loving, and self-controlled… Nonetheless, is what we feel the truth? Or is God’s word the Truth?  

Lord, please reveal to us the presence of Your Holy Spirit -already- within us and enable us to live in Your power, love, and wisdom!

Already all I need
