Someone believes in you.
They have invested in you.
They have walked with you as a friend.
They have walked ahead of you as an example.
You know their life is authentic.
You know their faith is real.
Such is the situation when the Apostle Paul writes these very personal, very powerful words to his friend Timothy.
For this reason
I remind you
to fan into flame
the gift of God,
which is in you
through the laying
on of my hands. (2 Tim. 1:6 NIV)
The old Apostle reminds the young pastor of others who have lived the life before him.
I have been reminded of your sincere faith
which first lived in your grandmother Lois
and in your mother Eunice
and, I am persuaded,
now lives in you also. (2 Tim. 1:5 NIV)
Who has invested in you?
What did they do to bring you into God's story?
How are you fanning God's gift into a roaring flame within your life today?
Grace & peace
