2 Timothy 1:2-4, Apostle Paul encourages and prays for Timothy (ICB)\nVerse 2\n\u201cTo Timothy, a dear son to me. Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God \nthe Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.\n3\nI always remember you in my prayers, day \nand night. And I thank God for you in these prayers. He is the God my ancestors \nserved. And I serve him, doing what I know is right. 4\nI remember that you cried \nfor me. And I want very much to see you so that I can be filled with joy.\u201d 2 Timothy 2: 5-7. Paul continues to encourage Timothy \nand help him in his journey towards his spiritual maturity. Paul says in verse 5 \u201cI \nremember your true faith. That kind of faith first belonged to your grandmother \nLois and to your mother Eunice. And I know that you now have that same faith.\n6 That is why I remind you to use the gift God gave you. God gave you that gift \nwhen I laid my hands on\n[a] you. Now let it grow, as a small flame grows into a \nfire. 7 God did not give us a spirit that makes us afraid. He gave us a spirit of power \nand love and self-control.\u201d\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pastor-lucy-paynter/support
