Faith Over Fear
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and off love and of a sound mind.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
SOMETIMES WE MAKE the mistake of freezing people in time. We remember them at their worst moments and don’t give them a second chance or have faith that they can change. In God’s grace we can let go of our assumptions of people and open our hearts to see others as Christ sees them.
Heavenly Father, in the midst of winter, help me to let go of thoughts of others that are frozen in time. Unfreeze my heart.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and off love and of a sound mind.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.—Isaiah 7:14 (NIV)

And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.—Romans 5:5 (NIV)
