“Stronger than Fear,” New Era, Sept. 2004, 47

Stronger than Fear

A scripture that comforts me and motivates me to conquer my fears is 2 Timothy 1:7: “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love, and of a sound mind.” When I read this scripture, I imagine the Savior telling me not to fear. Fear comes from someone else. Through the Spirit we receive gifts more powerful than fear: power, love, and a sound mind. With the help of the Spirit, I have been able to share my testimony with others.
