The other day I was scrounging around in my underoo drawer & came across anew bra that I had completely forgotten about. Well, naturally I was very excited at my new discovery I quickly swapped my scraggly old brafor my new one. It was like instant shot of confidence knowing “my girls” were right where they were supposed to be all along. I felt like I could conquer the world, me & my new bra. Throughout my day I was more outgoing & content with myself to the point where people werestarting to notice. Isn’t this similar to how our lights shine for Jesus? He gives us our “new found confidence” to go out into the world to show & tell people of His everlasting love. Some people see our mysterious joy & want what we have in their lives. I’m not saying that my life is peachy but because I have Christ in my heart, I know for a fact that I’m never alone in life’s challenges. Now, by no means am I comparing God to my new bra! This is just a parable, per say; although they do both have the power & strength to move mountains. :0) The verse below explains that our confidence comes from God & isn’t man made. 2Corinthians is full of confidence boosting verses if you get a chance to read through them. As you go about your day I ask you to mentally put onyour “new bras” & reignite your little lights for Christ. Let them shine in everything you do today! I love you & pray you have a wonderful day. Remember to Praise God Always!
2 Corinthians 3:3-5 (New International Version)3You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of ourministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God,not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. 4Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. 5Not thatwe are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but ourcompetence comes from God.
