The Good Hands Person

I Timothy4-II Timothy 1

Paul finishes one letter and then begins his last and the sincerity of love he has for Timothy seeps through the pages into our own hardened hearts.  Paul’s death is eminent but there is no sign of the melancholia of questioning.

“For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.”  II Timothy 1:7  

Paul has learned that love is the greatest disciplined power on earth.  It captured him and;

“…I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He (Jesus) is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.” 12

Paul knows his life is in Good Hands!!!
