2 Timothy 1:7-8 "For God has not give us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. So you must never be ashamed to tell others about the Lord." We may find our courage tested by the inevitable disappointments and tragedies of this life. After all, ours is a world filled with uncertainty, hardship, sickness, and danger. But God is our shield and our strength; we are His forever! So let us not focus our thoughts upon the fears of this day. Instead, trust His plan and His eternal love for us. And remember: Our Heavenly Father is good, an He always has the last word.
