2 Timothy 1:7 — 'For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.'
Notice what God did not give. Fear. If you're stuck in fear, it's not from him. He's not the source.
What he did give: power. Real ability. Not natural. Supernatural. Capacity for what he's called you to.
Love. The disposition to act for the good of others. Toward God. Toward people. Even the difficult ones.
Self-control. A sound mind. A disciplined will. The capacity to choose what's right when you'd rather not.
Those three are your inheritance. Power. Love. Self-control. Fear isn't on the list.
