Confidence

Jan 15, 2011 01:19


People aren't born with confidence; it must have developed during childhood and does still develop at different stages of life. Or so I believe.

It's one of those that need to be at an equilibrium. You can't be over-confident, nor "under-confident," because that'll either tip you over to harboring arrogance or low self-esteem (respectively). To  me, it's a fine line. "Be a confident woman," they say repeated (from my all-women's college), but it's not as easy as it sounds.

Though I could never be truly confident in myself, I can be confident in someone who is. The one who walks in the finest line yet would never fall. Hold on to him steadily, that's the key.

***
Let brotherly love continue.
Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 
Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body. 
Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 
So we can confidently say,

“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear;
what can man do to me?”

- Hebrews 13:1-6-
