Hey, this is Beth.

Listen, what we live for at Living Proof is to serve people, the Word of God.

We base our ministry on Hebrews 412 that tells us that the Word is alive and active.

We pray this message is going to serve you in some way today and that God

is going to speak through it. Thank you so much for giving us this privilege.

Here's the beauty of the word and you know it because if you have some seasoned time in the

scripture, you have this in your history, you have experienced this over and over again, that somehow,

no matter how many times you've seen a passage, it will jump out fresh to you, that it becomes

something that you may have studied over and over again.

And all the sudden, it just takes fresh life to you, jumps off that page, and it is a word that becomes now to you.

And that was this word for me.

Second Timothy one, we're going to zero in when it gets down to around verses nine and ten.

But I want to start from the top.

It's brief scriptures anyway.

Second Timothy, this is Paul, of course,

talking to him. Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by God's will, for the sake of the promise

of life in Christ Jesus. To Timothy, my dearly loved son, grace, mercy, and peace from God,

the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord. I thank God,

whom I serve with a clear conscience, as my ancestors did, when I constantly remember you in my

prayers night and day. Remembering your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.

I recall your sincere faith that first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother,

Eunice, and now I am convinced is in you also.
