Stir Me

by | Jul 12, 2015 | Uncategorized | 8 comments

“Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you …”.
(2 Timothy 1:6, NKJV)

Stir me, dear God, to live for you in the very fullest sense, by the faith of Your dear Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Stir me, that I may step out of the apathy and indifference and lethargy that seek to overwhelm our modern society, in self-sufficiency and self-complacency. Stir me to move out into the exciting realm of faith, to see Jesus Christ at work through me in all the daily details of living. Give me the courage to believe and to act in faith.

(from Living Faith by Dr. Helen Roseveare, page 37-38)

    Beautiful thoughts with a wonderful picture. Thanks for the encouragement to step out of our routine, normal, everyday stuff, and be stirred by the Father.

      And that is so it, Holly. He needs to stir our souls or we will become complacent.
