Scriptures of the Week

 what touched my heart this week from personal studies. 

2 Tim. 1:6-7

6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the giftof God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and oflove, and of a sound mind.

2 Tim. 2:21-26

21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be avessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, andprepared unto every good work.

 22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity,peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

 23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that theydo gender strifes.

 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentleunto all men, apt to teach, patient,

 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if Godperadventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging ofthe truth;

 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of thedevil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

for me this is comfort. and a wake up call. the second of the two is who we ought to be as deciples of christ and more importantly, as a missionary. this has helped me mature a little bit. helped me take my calling, my power and authority a little more seriously. and realize just what i represent and act accordingly. i love this work. i love the scriptures. i love learning of the savior. and i am becoming better.
