I want to talk about confidence tonight. I believe that this is a trait that I possess. I believe that I have great confidence, not because of all that I can do and accomplish, but because of the One who allows me to do and accomplish all of those things. Read this quote, it should help:
"Because the Christian has the Lord Himself dwelling within, the potential for inner strength (i.e. confidence) is unlimited."
~Bedside Blessings, 19.
Yes, I do have a lot of confidence, but I have this confidence because I know of the One who has given me all of the things to be confident about. If I know that the Lord is working through my life and leading me to greatest, how can I not be confident? Seriously, how can one not be confident? I think this is a phenomenal philosophy to live by. You have Christ living in you and working in you. Confidence should flow from that. It is not you that you are primarily confident in, it is Christ who you are confident in. Therefore, knowing that Christ is in you makes you confident because you have greatness flowing within you. How can you not be confident after hearing that?
