Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go
Confidence should never be confused with arrogance, a common manifestation of human behaviour revealing ignorance masquerading as intellectual prowess.
But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him ~ Jeremiah 17:7
Confidence is the feeling or belief that we can have faith in or rely on someone or something.
Confidence in Our Father's Word alive in our life is the awareness that within our conscious understanding we are being inspired to live our life in fulfilment of His plan tailored specifically for us.
It’s through our trust in God's Word that we can experience the fullness of freedom provided for us to reveal all that The Father has in store for those who remain faithful to His call, to do all that He asks.
“Whatever you do, He will make good of it. But not the good He had prepared for you if you had obeyed him.” ― C.S. Lewis,
It's always easy to identify the flaws, weaknesses, and shortcomings in others while neglecting to recognise our own very evident defects concealed from the world, fearful that we may be exposed for our imperfections.
Before thinking that we can change the world, the God inspired person begins the life long process of transforming our own life, the result of accepting that every human person is in need of saving from our belief, that we know better than those whom we believe deserve our judgmental correction.
Humility is that hidden treasure granted to all who embrace our many flaws, that we may with The Father's guidance learn day, by day to better reveal the image of God alive in the life of every human person.
“The world is so much larger than I thought. I thought we went along paths--but it seems there are no paths.
The going itself is the path.” ― C.S. Lewis
