Scriptures
For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:6-7)
Every good and perfect gift is from above,coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. (James 1:17)
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. (Proverbs 22:6)
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:2)
