2 Timothy 1:7 (New International Version)
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
This seems like an odd trio: power, love, and self-discipline.
From dictionary.com
Power: ability to do or act; capability of doing or accomplishing something.
Love: affectionate concern for the well-being of others: the love of one’s neighbor.
Self-Discipline: discipline and training of oneself, usually for improvement.
These still seem like an odd trio, but this is what God has given to us.
I think God has given us the ability to train ourselves to act in a way that leads to the well-being of others. I am sure there are other ways to combine this trio, but that one will do for now.
