"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7. Being a Christian does not mean being weak. It does not mean hiding your tail between your legs and running away. As followers of Christ we are to stand tall against our opposition, and not be influenced by others. We are to know we have the Creator, the ultimate power, on our side. We have love, the strongest force, on our side. And when we commit ourselves to self-discipline, we can have the confidence to get us through. Being a Christian is the opposite of being weak. It is the most powerful, courageous thing you can do!
