This week we’re going to talk about why it’s a dare in order to be confident. On last week’s episode, we talked about why it’s a dare to be beautiful. We first began by defining what that word dare means. That word dare means: the courage that is required to do something big. Dare also means to challenge someone to do something that requires boldness. And lastly dare means to confront something boldly.  So, why does it take courage and boldness to be confident? Why does it take courage and boldness to hold your heard high and not be so shaken by what others think about you? Ladies, you are in a fight your life, but you’re also in a fight for your future.  There is a fight against your identity:Meaning the enemy and this culture don’t want you to see yourself as God sees you, so they try to get you to believe something that’s not true about who you are. There is a fight against your friends. This world and all it has to offer can be enticing and you may see your friends deciding to straddle that line between living for God and living for this world and eventually you may even see them completely abandoning their faith…and it hurts to watch our friends go through this.There is a fight against your schools and the agendas this culture is trying to push that is so against God. There is a fight to make sure there’s absolutely no place for God in school.  There is a fight against your value and your worth.We constantly criticize who we are based on what others think.There is a fight against your body image and how you see yourself.Nitpicking everything about us.There is a fight against your purpose. Do we really have a purpose? Why am I here?There is a fight against the people that you are looking to that influence you.So many people are no longer standing for the Truth.There is a fight against your walk with God…Reading the Bible, praying, worship.There is a fight against your time…We're so busy that our head is spinning.There’s a fight against your confidence. This world is telling you to be confident in yourself. You’ve got this! You can do it! However, that’s not what God says. Ladies, it’s a dare to be confident, because it takes courage and boldness to stand against this culture and say, enough is enough! My confidence comes from the Lord! I am confident in the way I look, because God made me beautifully. I am confident in my walk with God, because He will never fail me. He is always faithful. I am confident in my purpose! God has a plan for my life and it’s a good plan!
