This world tells us to have SELF-confidence, but I believe we have to put that side and develop God-confidence instead. Psalm 139 and Jeremiah 29:11 tell us that not only are we fearfully and wonderfully made, we’re made with a great purpose in mind. When we learn to see ourselves through God’s eyes, we’re set free from comparison and judgment, allowing us to passionately live life to the fullest. I want to encourage and inspire you to spend time in God’s Word each week as a way for us to draw close to Jesus together. Join me here for sisterhood, mentorship, weekly devotionals and more to help you dig deeper in your own relationship with God.
