To Timothy, my dear son: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
2 Timothy 1:2 NIV
I find it interesting that the Apostle Paul started this letter to Timothy with three very specific truths concerning our relationship with God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. Three things we need, three truths foundational to our faith, that’s what Paul greets Timothy with.
He reminds Timothy that from God's grace he reaches to us.
He reminds Timothy that God shows mercy to us though we don't deserve it.
He reminds Timothy that peace from God with Him, with others, and with ourselves has been provided in Christ for us.
Father, thank you for your grace, mercy and peace. Thank you that in your grace you open that way back to you, in your mercy you draw me back to you and in peace I can truly live.
