“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7 NIV
Our world is a difficult one. Often enough its scary, tense, and heart breaking. Most of our world lives in physical poverty while the rest lives in spiritual poverty. We lose loved ones to illness, violence, accidents, etc. Some of our communities are torn apart by drugs. Our brothers and sisters across the oceans live with famines, epidemics, and war. Its enough to discourage even the strongest of faith.
Thankfully, The Salvation Army marches out to meet these problems not on its own strength and boldness but on that of Jesus Christ. His apostle Paul writing to Timothy wrote the verse we see above. The Spirit of God does not make us timid and scared, but it gives us the power to be bold, to love, and to be self-disciplined. That's the kind of people our world needs to make a difference.
Be bold my friends! Not on your own strength but on that of Jesus. Our world needs you to make a difference today. Check out www.salvationarmy.org to find out more about what The Salvation Army is doing around the globe and how you can help.
God Bless You,
