2 Timothy 1:3-7

I'm always thinking of you and I'm so thankful to God, whom I serve as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience. I never forget to mention you in my prayers.

I remember how you cried, and I so want to see you! That would make me really happy.

I keep in mind your sincere trust in God, the same trust that your grandmother Lois and mother Eunice also had—and I know that same trust continues in you.

That's why I want to remind you to revitalize God's gracious gift to you which you received when I placed my hands on you.

God didn't give us a spirit that makes us fearful, but a spirit of power and love and good sense.
