Bible Marginalia- Fan into Flame

#10 in the Bible Marginalia Series

Guard the Deposit Entrusted to You

Paul to Timothy:

I remember you constantly

 in prayer day and night

 I know your tears

 and to see you would bring me JOY.

I know your sincere faith.

This dwelt in your grandma- Lois,

and your mom- Eunice,

and now dwells in YOU.

For this reason, 

I remind you to fan into flame

 this gift of faith from GOD.

It is in you from 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 1:3-7
