Devotional: Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem
Believe in Yourself
In a world that often tries to tear us down, it’s important to remember that our true worth comes from our identity in Christ. We are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and God has a plan and purpose for each of us (Jeremiah 29:11). When we believe in ourselves, we are recognizing the amazing creation that God has made us to be.
Strength in the Lord
We can find our confidence and self-esteem in the strength of the Lord. Philippians 4:13 reminds us that we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. When we rely on Him for our confidence, we can overcome any obstacles that come our way.
Rooted in Love
1 John 4:18 tells us that perfect love casts out fear. When we understand and accept the love that God has for us, we can walk boldly in confidence. Our self-esteem is not based on the opinions of others, but on the unconditional love of our Heavenly Father.
