2 Tim 1:6 "Timothy's Tears" (October 27)

Paul remembered Timothy's tears.  I wonder what Timothy's tears were for?  I find it very tender that Paul holds this memory of his friend so dear.  He encourages Timothy to fan into flame the gift of God, which is already in Timothy.  God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.  That's just beautiful news.

  1. Bev, I couldn't help starting my morning off with a laugh at your bug story from yesterday. Oh my! I am sorry that you were left with your hair undone!

    Hello all! I am still here reading along in God's word with you each day!

    Love you,

  2. It is a beautiful reminder that He has not given us a spirit of fear but of love, power and a sound mind. So, that says to us when we are afraid that the enemy is camping on our shoulders and we need to remind him that we do NOT have a spirit of fear.
    I also loved it when Paul, said he knew who he believed and knew that He was guarding him against that day, meaning the day when Jesus judges all. When believer stand before Him we will not be judged for we are covered in His righteous blood and God is guarding us against that day when we believe in Him. Brought the old hymn to mind..."for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that to which I've committed against that day. What wonderful thoughts to carry through the day.

    Bev, sent you a msg over FB last night, gave you my snail mail address...give me yours so that I can send out what needs to be sent out.and all info...thanks dear one.

    Blessing on all who read and follow....
