it is there that i find my self worth and confidence

as i sat here this morning gazing out of my front picture window, hearing the birds sing and watching them eat from the bird feeder that i put out there, i was thinking, thinking, thinking what i could write in my blog. sometimes thoughts just race through my head and to try and get it down in written form is difficult. but, now i believe i have something to share. too often i put my self worth and confidence in what people may think of me, most likely i lean towards being a people pleaser, i don't know if you deal with that issue sometimes, but, i sure know that i do. God wants us to find our self worth and place our confidence in Christ alone, that's difficult for me to do, maybe it's a control issue....most likely it is. but, you know God doesn't want us to trust or base our value on our physical appearance (man, that sure hits me in the gut!), talents, friends, religion or anything else. No, our self worth and confidence should be placed in God and God alone, it's hard for me to do that and i don't think i'll ever obtain perfection, but He doesn't ask for perfection, He just asks that we strive for that to become a reality in our lives....man, on this journey, i sure need to hold His hand because it is there that i find my self worth and confidence.
