"We have this kind of confidence toward God through Christ. It is not that we are competent in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our competence is from God. He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit produces life." 2 Corinthians 3:4-6
Confidence. We all want it. We all value it. We all struggle with it. Believing in ourselves is extremely hard to do because we know ourselves and we know our failings. It is true that we are not as good as we may think we are but we definitely aren't as bad as we think we are, if we have Christ. Our confidence is not in us but in what God has given to us.
Lord, help me to be humble but to believe in You enough that I believe in me more.
