Confident

On Sunday morning, we talked about confidence in the middle school girls class. We discussed what we choose to get confidence from opposed to the true source of all the confidence we could ever need. The truth is we lean on what others say about us (and if those are compliments, than those do help build us up). The question is: Are we using eternal characteristics to give us confidence? Not how good you look today, the grades you made last 9 weeks, the boyfriend that is blowing up your phone with sweet text messages. Instead, we draw confidence from what God says about us. He says we are beautiful, we are worth it, we are forgiven, we have been called, and that he was better plans for us than we have for ourselves. Every morning we put on this confidence and use God's power to do all that we can do in every day. We keep our head held high because God gives us life.
