We are loved by an awesome God, this should give us confidence to be His hands and His feet and His voice.
One of my experiences in driving, I get to meet a lot of people, and in the rare case someone will ask me a straight about what I believe.
It happen to me recently an American and An Asian Indian, were to get in my taxi. They asked me what made me tick, and what was important to me.
A big Question required a Big response, and I told them my family mattered to me, but most importantly my Faith in my Creator God was the thing that made me tick {their terms}.
Their loaded question got my Big response. They told me they were very impressed by my response and could see the confidence, I had in my conviction.
As they left the taxi, I gave them each a ministry card, they went away holding and reading the card.
Here are some confidence scriptures to help us all be more confident in our response, to questions about our faith life and walk.{Message Bible}
