2 Timothy 1:6-7 … The Gift of God within<br />
(08/10/20<strong>16</strong>)<br />
“Rekindle the Gift of God that is within You … for God did not Give us a spirit of<br />
cowardice, but rather a Spirit of Power & of Love.” ~ unknown (2 Timothy 1:6-7)<br />
What many fail <strong>to</strong> realize when reading this verse is that just because a Gift is<br />
truly given, does not mean that it is properly cherished ... And this is true indeed in<br />
the gift of "Grace" that each and every one of us has each been given -- a gift that<br />
has been showered upon us all in three parts:<br />
(01) We have each been given a sense of self-Awareness (what many call<br />
consciousness), ...<br />
(02) We have each been given an internal moral compass (what many call<br />
conscience),and ...<br />
(03) We have each been<br />
given the ability <strong>to</strong> use both of<br />
the aforementioned <strong>to</strong><br />
powerfully & positively<br />
influence our surroundings (via<br />
the quantum interconnection of<br />
our intentions with everything<br />
around us, via the limbic<br />
interconnection of our feelings<br />
with every sentient being<br />
residing nearby, and via the<br />
direct interconnection that<br />
blossoms in every courageous<br />
deed that harmonizes the<br />
former with the latter).<br />
Of course, these three Gifts<br />
are not what makes us truly<br />
Human … We become truly<br />
Human only in the moments we<br />
choose <strong>to</strong> selflessly use these<br />
the facets of Grace <strong>to</strong> bring<br />
Peace &/or Joy <strong>to</strong> another.<br />
