I am a very, very, prideful person. I appear to have a lot of self-confidence and in fact, most of the time, I do. But where does it come from and where does it go?  Why and how do I get so caught up in my own self-worth that i act as though the world is my pearl?
 
Again and again, as I battle back and forth from being humble to being prideful and self-absorbed, God is teaching me that my true worth is not in what I can (or cannot) do, but in Him through me. I am sure I am not the first (or last) individual to combine the words ‘God’ and ‘confidence,’ but this is what I hope to evolve to. I hope to become centered on God and to have Him strip away my self-confidence and in its place, place Himself.
