Do you ever listen to a message and think, I wish so-and-so was listening to this? We all do it! And most times, in all reality, the message is really speaking to you! Well, in second Timothy, we see Paul mentoring Timothy as Timothy oversees the church in Ephesus. Paul encourages Timothy. Timothy is then told to entrust all that he learned to faithful men and those men will then pass on their learnings. However, it begins with you! You are Younique in God’s eyes and He wants you to hear the message first. Be inspired, transformed, and encouraged. Yes, it starts with you…Together, let’s look at some of the You charges Paul give us in the book of 2 Timothy. For once, it is all about you.
Youniquely, you are one of a kind and are the apple of God’s eye (Psalm 17:8). And He wants you to live to your fullest ability and expect God to do far more abundantly beyond all that you ask or think, according to the power that works in you (Ephesians 3:20).

I hope you will personally take these charges to heart because God wants to YOUniquely use you right where you are. He wants you to be an example to those around you; make a difference in your community, church, and workplace.
From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.
Luke 12:48Now, you go be the difference in someone’s life today.
Journeying with Him,
