i'm learning to be confident. what has helped me is this. it's simple yet so powerful.
Jesus loves me.
me. Jesus loves meeeeeeeeeeee. there's nothing i can do to make Him love me any less. He delights in my company. He loves my silly jokes. i don't need to impress Him. He knows everything about me, and He still wants us to fellowship together. He accepts me! He is the God who sees me!
as a result of my relationship getting deeper with Him, my character is forming more into reflecting His.
as a person who struggled with low self esteem for soooo many years, i learned to let go of a certain way of thinking. to stop believing the lies i held onto for so long to believe who God says i am. as a result, my confidence is growing
all praise and honor to Him!
