Being Bold For Christ

⁷ For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
-2 Timothy 1:7

Timothy a young disciple of Paul is encourage to be more bold for his faith in Christ. Being a leader of his church, Timothy often struggles with ageism as the leads older individuals to Christ. Paul intrusts Timothy to take care of the flock without the fear of being judged as Christ gives all believers the power to be bold.


One of the biggest struggles for me as a christian is to forgo the ability to speak out and share the gospel. I tend to find reasons or revert back to being comfortable rather than make an individual uncomfortable by imposing my beliefs onto them. God grants me not spiritiual timidity, but gives me the power of love and self discipline. I should be able to do all things in Christ, even sharing my faith to strangers. As I'm going to missions, I need to go in boldness and allow the gospel to be spread in Indonesia. I expect God to do mighty works and change the country of Indonesia for His name. I believe our works will be used by God and blessed. Likewise I need this same mentality in San Jose, as missions is not somewhere I got outside my home, but everywhere.


Jesus help me to be bold in you. Help me to stand up in faith and proclaim in love and self discipline. Help me to please you and not men. 


I pray all these things in jesus name.
amen
