The world around us wants us to place our confidence on our abilities or on what we can accomplish. We tend to feel like our level of confidence is based on what people say about us, how many likes we get, how popular we are, how much we have compared to others or how we look.
The more that we base our level of confidence on what is “popular” the harder it will be to ever feel at peace with ourselves and to be able to experience the true confidence that we can gain. It’s important for us to be honest with ourselves and ask ourselves, how confident Am I? Do I base my confidence on my own strength? Do I look for outside sources to bring me confidence? How can I gain stronger confidence in God?
To be confident in God means that we don’t need any outside sources to tell us our worth. We don’t need likes, comments, the popular vote or even everyone to like us. The confidence that God provides is different, It’s not prideful or conceited. Instead it’s peaceful, calm and filled with an inner strength & confidence that is full of FAITH IN GOD.
God confidence means that it’s full of courage even when there’s fear, because we know in whom we trust. It’s a confidence that has faith to get out of the boat and walk on water. It’s a confidence that is filled with a positive attitude, with hope, it looks upward and forward to the future and to the purpose that God has for our lives. It’s a confidence that is filled with strength and courage to live the best life that we can for God. ???
God teaches us in Psalms 118:8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. & Proverbs 3:26 says; For the Lord shall be thy confidence.
God wants us to place our confidence on Him! That’s the reason why we’re here on this Earth! To get to know Him, To learn to trust Him, To test the limits of our Faith & to become who He intended us to become when He created us. The more that we trust Him, the more we will notice what we can do and accomplish with His help. He will guide us, help us and inspire us to know where we should be focusing our energies. Trust Him & see what a confident Child if God can do. ????

Hi Lili
I haven’t heard from you for awhile I thought you stopped posting these inspiring messages. I am glad to see them again. Confidence has not been a strong area in my life. But as I have gotten older I have realized that putting my confidence on people was not fullfilling my life. It left me empty and disappointed. Sometimes it’s right in front of you and you don’t even notice it. I have had so many things going on since the holidays and now I am settling down. I realized having confidence in others to left me in times when I am alone and depressed wasn’t working. I still have a big decision to do and I feel God will lead me to make the right decision. One thing that I feel God put people in my path was to make me think of getting a dog again. I finally realized that this is what I need in my life to be my best friend and best companion. Everything else will go on but my life is full cause I have someone to take care of and give me my confidence back.
Feel better love ya

Hi Margaret! It has been a while. Life gets crazy and busy and you know how it is. But thank you as always for reading these messages and allowing your heart to be open to what God would Like you to gain from them. You’re so right! It’s crazy that we spend our whole lives and not realize that confidence can only come from ourselves! That nothing out there will bring us true lasting confidence unless we get it from God and what He sees in us. You’re an amazing woman and I know that God continues to have more for you and to provide for your life. I’m excited to hear that you’re getting a dog again. There’s something beautiful about what they can bring to our lives and what we can do for them. God is in all of the beauty and creations around us. Surround yourself with His love and all will be well. ? hugs & Blessings my beautiful friend! ?
