Day 74 - No Fear
Austin Green
“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, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” - 2 Timothy 1:6-7
Unfortunately, fear keeps many people from operating in their spiritual gifts. It could be the fear of failure, embarrassment, or judgment from others. There are a ton of fears you could have about using your gifts.
Maybe you’ve tried serving before, and you had a poor experience. Perhaps you were new to serving, and no one helped you. Today, I want to assure you that your gifts matter, your passions matter, and your service matters.
The truth is the enemy of our soul wants to use our fears to keep us from using our gifts because he knows that when we use our gifts, we find fulfillment, and others are drawn closer to Jesus.
Family, don’t allow fear to keep you from using your gifts to serve others! Today, I challenge you to give your fears to Jesus and begin using your gifts for the glory of God.
