It is human to fear but we have an advocate, a helper in those times with the Holy Spirit. We can call on His power to do that which we are incapable of doing and the wisdom to call on and to rely in His intervention in our daily lives in good times and in bad. We do well to remember that His love conquers all!
The desire to discover, develop, and deploy our specific spiritual gifts should be like a fire blazing within us. The constant struggle of Christians is to be diligent about our work for God and not to slacken our pace in this spiritual race. We need to make a conscious effort to exercise our gift for the common good of the body of Christ.
The Holy Spirit is the One who gives us spiritual gifts and empowers us to use them. God’s Spirit does not impart fear or cowardice, but power, love, and a sound mind, or “self-control.” The love the Spirit gives to us should be directed toward other individuals.
2 Timothy 1:6-7
6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
