Paul's final contribution to the Bible was a letter to his young protege, Timothy. He chose to use this send-off as a way of reminding Timothy what had driven his ministry for years, with hopes of grounding Timothy's in the same convictions. His opening words are so very poignant in that he reminds Timothy of the gift that he had been given, from both his maternal and spiritual families. This double-portion of God's blessing, having had anointing hands on his life since he was a child, gave Timothy a much greater runway than most. Paul urges Timothy to seize this opportunity and allow God's Promise of Life to take its full effect on him. In this message, we reflect on God's Promise of Life and how we should honor those who passed along this gift to us. We also realize that to truly honor them, we will channel their same passion and fan the flame to those around us. Lastly, we unpack the different angles of God's promise, seeking to understand what a life full of power, love, and grace can look like in us
