God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of…love.
2 Timothy 1:7
Paul wrote this message to Timothy to encourage him to refuse to be intimidated and fearful. He reminded Timothy that God had already given him a powerful resource to combat his fear. Love.
And here’s some really super news: God has given all believers His divine love! God’s gift of eternal, inexhaustible, and ever-present love is most comforting. The adversities you face—hardships, persecution, illness, and ultimately death—should not cause you to be fearful or ruin the quality of your life. Why? Because nothing “shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:39).
Let love be your highest goal. Only a Christian can possess true love—God’s love. It’s a treasure money can’t buy. It’s a treasure the world can’t produce. It’s a treasure that is yours to value and a gift to share with others, starting with your family, and then extending to the family of God and beyond.

Memorial Day heralds the beginning of summer. To students, it begins the countdown to summer vacation. Often summer schedules are hectic with family members going in every direction for sports, camps, social activities, or college preparation. Don’t let your summer get away from you!
The best way you can help lead your family is to make sure you are growing spiritually. This growth will give you the wisdom and strength you need for leading your children in the faith. You can make this happen by regular time reading the Bible (2 Timothy 3:17), finding role models to emulate (Proverbs 27:17), avoiding influences and situations where you will be tempted (1 Corinthians 15:33, 2 Timothy 2.22), and choosing to abide in Christ in order to bear fruit (John 15:1-8).
No matter what you do with each day or in your life, doing anything God’s way is a matter of the heart. Whether it’s deciding how to spend your money or your time, how you treat people, how you dress, or how you accomplish your work, your choices reveal the treasure of your heart.
