Love | Power | Self-Discipline
“Love, Power, and Self-Discipline are often understood in the context of 2 Timothy 1:7, a biblical verse stating that God gives a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline, not timidity or fear. In this view, God’s spirit provides the inner strength (power), the capacity for kindness and empathy (love), and the ability to control one’s actions and desires (self-discipline) to overcome fear and effectively surrender to a higher power.
SELF-DISCIPLINE ENABLES LOVE & POWER:
Having self-discipline allows a person to focus their energy and actions toward what truly matters, enabling them to show love to others and exercise spiritual power effectively.
LOVE INFORMS POWER & SELF-DISCIPLINE:
A spirit of love motivates the exercise of power and the practice of self-discipline. This love guides actions, ensuring that power is used righteously and self-control is applied constructively.
POWER SUPPORTS LOVE & SELF-DISCIPLINE:
The spiritual power from God helps an individual to rise above their own weaknesses and fears, giving them the confidence and strength to act in love and maintain self-control.”
