The words that Saint Paul addressed to his beloved Timothy remind us today of our own call to remain focused on what is truly essential. I remind you - he writes - to stir into flame the gift of God that you have received ... For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power, love and self control (2 Tim 1: 6-7).
From the day of our baptism, our God has been building and strengthening his presence within us. This presence is made known to us through the great love that God has for each of us. Love is never meant to make us question, but rather to create an environment where we can be ourselves, experience true happiness and know that we are supported at all times as we strive to reach our own personal potential.
God's love for us is constant; it never wavers. If we experience doubt about God's love, God is always waiting for us to turn back to him. His wish is to strengthen us with his power, especially when we ourselves are weak. This power makes it possible for us to transform even cowardice into renewed strength so that we can allow the light of God's love to shine in and though us.
Have a great day.
