What is your Confidence In?

This is an entry I would really love to hear others opinions on. What makes you believe in yourself? Where does your confidence come from you? What is your faith and confidence in? Is it your own ability or something else? How do you believe in one's self?

This one is difficult for me to answer. I do not believe I necessarily have confidence in my ability for something. I am not an athlete, although I try to stay fit. I am not a musician, although I like to sing. I am not particularly good at any one thing, although I am mediocre at many things. So where does my confidence come from? The only answer I know is that it doesn't come from me. I can be insecure at times, especially if I compare myself to others, which is always a temptation. I see the gifts that others have to offer. I see the light the others have. Why is it so difficult for me to see my own? My confidence lies in the God who created me and made me for a purpose. This is just how I feel personally. I know many people have their own opinions on this issue, but this seems to be where my heart lies. My confidence is that he will use me for something great, although I have no great talent or feature. I cannot boast in my own ability. Everyday I wake up and do my best to care for my baby. Everyday I try to be the best mom possible. Everyday I try to be the best wife for my husband and to meet his needs to the best of my ability. That is all. What about you?
