Dear to God, honoring God. Timotheos. Timothy carried both meaning and mission in his name, becoming a faithful son in the faith to Paul. A name can be a calling. Live up to yours.

To bring good news, to proclaim the gospel. Euaggelizo. How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news. The Gospel is news not advice. It announces what has happened.

No, not, never. Mé. The softest Greek negative, used to deny what is possible or expected. When God says no, he means it.

Faith, trust, belief, faithfulness. Pistis. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Faith is the currency of the kingdom. Everything flows to those who trust God completely.

To have, to hold, to possess. I have learned in whatever state I am to be content. Contentment is not about having more but appreciating what you have.

Remembrance, mention. I thank my God every time I remember you. The people God puts in your life are worth thanking Him for.

Always, at all times, continually. Pantote. I am with you always. The promise of presence is without exception. He is always with you in every situation without interruption.

Deep longing, intense craving. Epipotheo. Paul used this word for his yearning to see the churches he loved, and Peter used it for the hunger that should drive us to Scripture. Let your deepest cravings be anchored in what is holy.

To know, to see, to perceive. Paul said I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

Exactly as, just as. Kathaper. What is true in the natural world mirrors what is true in the spiritual. God draws on what we know to reveal what we cannot yet see.
