"The most beautiful women I’ve ever observed are those that have exchanged a self-focused life for a Christ-focused one. They are confident, but not in themselves. Instead of self-confidence, they radiate with Christ-confidence. They aren’t spending their time trying to feel better about themselves or inhabiting their own beauty. They aren’t even thinking about themselves. Their desire is to decrease, so that Jesus Christ would increase."

What does "Christ-confidence" mean to you?
To me "Christ Confident" means finding my value and identity completely in who Christ says that I am. I am a Child of God, an Heir to the Father an Co-Heir with Christ. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Christ-confident is understanding that Christ is in me, the hope of glory.
ReplyDeleteWow! I Just read about who we are in Christ this morning in Ephesians 1. We are blessed, redeemed, chosen, adopted, blameless, holy. Understanding who we are in Christ is self-confidence. If only each and every one of us women understood this fully, how beautiful would that be?
