True Confidence
What does true confidence look like?
This is a question I've been asking myself lately. In my 30s, I've decided that I'm done with feeling unsure about myself. On this side of heaven, I know I will always have to fight with Satan's lies of who I am, but it's possible to feel more confident and to better understand God's love for me.
A confident woman knows who she is, why she is and what she’s supposed to do.
She's not afraid to be herself.
She understands her purpose, and her gifts. She knows that there are certain things only she can contribute to this world, at this time, in this place.
It is a knowing that you are valuable.
It is knowing that God is all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present, loving and just.
Self-confidence is no confidence at all. To achieve anything or take any action consistent with God’s plan for your life, you must first surrender your Self, and placing your confidence in God, knowing that He works all things for good to those who love Him. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have the power to act. In fact, we are called to act in order to reflect God’s glory.
A confident woman’s being speaks louder than her words. Confidence is not loud or boastful. In fact, it is often gentle, quiet and always humble.
Give me the Jesus kind of confidence any day: soft-spoken, gentle, compassionate, caring, yet strong. And inevitably powerful. Someone who has a message to share with the world; who makes a difference. Now that’s confidence!
