In order to teach our children and others how to be confident, we must first set the example. But we must first follow the perfect example...Christ!
The way we live and the things we do make a HUGE impact on our families lives, especially our children.
Often times, we need to take a step back and allow God to open our eyes to see what example we have modeled. This will be very visible by the way our children act, the things they do, say and even their habits.
If our children eat poorly, it's most likely because we allowed, and even encouraged it by feeding it to them.
If we struggle with over eating, our children could too.
If our attitudes are negative, more than likely so will theirs be.
If we don't spend time in the Word, our children probably won't either.
If we use poor language, they probably will too.
If we are never content, they might not be either.
If we have no confidence in ourselves or in our relationship with Christ, then more than likely they won't either.
Let's learn from the One who was the perfect example, Jesus.
The more we know Him, the more we will live like Him, and desire too.
I promise, if your relationship with Christ is intimate and real and growing and you are always talking and communicating with Him, Your confidence will grow. Your actions will be a reflection of Your relationship with Him and it will produce fruit that will be seen through the lives of your children.
