Where Confidence Is

Where do you place your confidence today? What gives you strength? Hope? Encouragement? Some people find confidence in a relationship. When the relationship is going well, they are going well. But if there is a problem in that relationship, they are shaken. Some people find confidence in their job. But if things are not going well in the workplace, it rattles them to the core.
I believe God wants to teach us to trust Him today. He wants to be our source of strength and confidence. But many people have a difficult time trusting God because they think He's mad at them, or they aren't sure if He wants to do good to them. Always remember—God's not mad at you; He's madly in love with you!
Realize today that God is looking at you with good eyes, with sweet eyes, with loving eyes. He's not looking at what you've done wrong; He's looking at what you're doing right. Not only is He the God of love, He IS love and His arms are stretched out toward you today.
Why don't you take a moment and let that truth sink down into your heart? When you begin to really understand the way God sees you, it will affect your confidence in a whole new way. You'll go deeper and further with Him, knowing that He is at work in your life.
