God’s Spirit is not a spirit of timidity: God’s Spirit fills us with power, love and self-control.

Paul writes lovingly to Timothy—‘dear child of mine’—as he would to us. We need that encouragement that Paul gives. We are blessed with our faith, and it is wonderful when we lose our timidity and are ready to share it with others.

In my youth I lacked confidence, but, as my faith grew, and my relationship with God became strong, I was happy to share when the opportunity came. If we each can fan this gift of faith into a flame, we will have the Spirit of power and love and self control which is God’s gift.
