Okies so I know I'm a day late, but I was at Easter camp. =D
(sorry, bad photo quality. we were in Crystal Cave. )
A friend told me this during Easter camp:
If you look around, you'll see that the world focuses so much on themselves (eg: on fortune, on fashion, on what people think about them, on music) cz that's where they get their confidence from. They gotta be rich, or have nice clothes, or be popular, or listen to a particular band to have that level of self-esteem that they want to reach. But that's why there's so much corruption in this world. Cz they focus on themselves only. That's why there's so much hate and anger and sadness and jealously etc. Cz everything is focused on self.
But, when you receive Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, your source of confidence becomes on the Lord. Your focus becomes to serve God and the people around you, and everything else just falls away. Nothing else matters. Not fortune, not fashion, not popularity, not music etc. Thoughts on elevating your self-esteem just disappears. Cz you don't need those for confidence. You have confidence through God, knowing that He'll take care of you. That's why your focus is on the people around you, to show God's love to them.
Hope this helps in your walk with God, in some ways, cz it did for me. =)
