For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. 2 Timothy: 1-7

God delights when we open our hearts and receive what He provides. He welcomes obedience as we learn how it feels to TRUST. He readies us to use gifts we’re given and find strength in the power of His love.

Sometimes we feel inadequate, unequipped to do what God calls us to do. We hesitate with lack of confidence and need to be reminded who plans our days. God created us to serve Him with ALL of our hearts and find strength in the presence of His love.

There will never be a day without His greatness. As we witness how it feels to stand in strength, God helps us measure our progress. He takes away fear and replaces it with peace that passes all understanding. He gives us knowledge to discover where JOY is found.

We must never question God’s ability to use us. As He guides, He provides! He will show us amazing things and help us discover what happens if we're faithful. He helps us flourish in the timing of His will and nurtures our souls for growth. He reminds us there's a purpose for our progress!

We must never doubt what God WILL accomplish in our lives. He will remove all fear and replace it with thoughts of good. Gladness will come from the blessing of a grateful heart. We must be willing to step in faith and never be afraid to keep on going…GOD will ready us for what is good. He will prepare us to welcome JOY, when we choose to work for Him.

Dear God, thank you for giving us courage when You ask us to TRUST. We're so grateful to be held by Your holiness. Thank you for guiding and providing for our days. YOU shows us our worth. We will love You with all of our hearts and find PEACE in the promise of Your presence. We will wait to be grown by the love of Your faithfulness and welcome JOY as we learn how to serve. YOU are the One knows what’s best for our lives. Thank you, Lord. Thank you! Amen
