2 Timothy 1:7
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
That one means a lot to me. It's likely my favorite verse in the bible.
Even though I personally lack self-discipline, I always pray for strength and guidance.
I still feel God's spirit of power and love inside my heart. Jesus Christ keeps me going.
There were some rough times in the past decade that I wanted to give up. I quit a lot of things in my life.
Looking back I still don't know how I made it through. I felt like a failure. I kept praying and believing...
Don't regret the past, just learn from it. Strength is when you have so much to cry for but you prefer to smile instead.
