Morning Hope – 2 Timothy 1:3-6, 13-14

2 Timothy 1:3-6, 13-14

I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day, 

greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy,

when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.

Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 

That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
