CAST NOT AWAY CONFIDENCE

"Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward." Hebrew 10:35
God wants us to live with confidence and approach life boldly. We must be decisive. Make a decision today to start being decisive. It will never happen to you if you don't.
Put your confidence in Christ and who you are in Him, not in what people think of you. We cannot depend our worth on what others are saying or how they are treating us. People who are hurting will hurt others. If you have come into contact with people who are hurting, they may hurt or reject you. They may have transposed their pain onto you, when in reality you are not the real problem at all.
Know yourself. Know your heart, and don't wait for other people to dictate to you the truth about your value. Don't assume you are wrong every time someone does not agree with you. Believe that God's wisdom dwells inside of you. Believe you can make decisions. There is no point at all in believing something negative about yourself when it is just easy to believe something positive - and it's certainly a lot more helpful and beneficial.
A believer without confidence is like a car sitting on the road with no fuel. It looks good but goes no place. People who are indecisive are the same way. They may have all the qualities needed to be successful, but if they refuse to make decisions, they go nowhere and accomplishing nothing. Progress begins with a decision.
