A Spirit of Love and Sound Mind
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.—2 Peter 3:18 (ESV)
Spiritually, we grow when we learn to remove ourselves from the spotlight and shine it on others. By putting others’ needs in the forefront of our thinking, we become less self-conscious and more Christ-conscious.
Lord, help me concentrate on how I can help others.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.—2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)

To all perfection, I see a limit, but your commands are boundless.—Psalm 119:96 (NIV)
