7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7 NIV)

We were not put here to be sheep. We have been given power in God’s name and what we do with that power everyone is watching.

Power in the world’s sense needs to dominate, but power in God’s sense gains it’s strength in love.

Thus, this power we are given is the power to love ourselves and others. In this we find true strength.
