Fearless in Spirit
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7
Let me be real, fear tried to prevent me from vending at the Fearless Fund Venture Capital Summit. How ironic right? It seems like there are always obstacles in my way when it’s time for Suite Six25 to show up and show out at an event. But then, I remembered this scripture when I was in the thick of it all. I knew I had to shift from fear to the latter three spiritual characteristics in 2 Timothy 1:7.
Power
I have power in Christ to do things I may not feel I have the strength to do. There is power in what is being birthed in Suite Six25 and I have to show up to stay on the assignment God has given me. I cannot underestimate the lives that will be touched and impacted through what I am doing, especially at in person events. I have to stand firm in what I have been tasked to do.
The focus of Suite Six25 is to always make sure I am reflecting the love of the Father through experiences with others. The root of everything I do comes from the foundation of love and care. I believe love is what radiates from my spirit through the Suite Six25 encounters. It’s uncontainable.
Sound Mind
No matter how chaotic life gets, I rest in the Father to make sound decisions under pressure. This has to be the hardest for me to do sometimes. I struggle to calm my thoughts and I know this is where my fear runs rampant. I think endlessly of all the possibilities or negative perceptions I’ve made up myself. I know the mind can be the playground of the enemy if I let it. However, God has kept my mind and I am thankful.
I know these 3 characteristics aren’t always my “default spiritual settings” in all situations, but this is why gentle and constant reminders of who I am in Christ make all the difference. I am blessed that God chose me for Suite Six25. I am here to stand fearlessly and confidently in who he says that I am - not what the world projects onto me or even who I think I am.
Lord continue to show me, me. You know me better than I know myself. Let’s do this.
