Godly Self-Confidence Truth #10:
Should you make a mistake, be quick to tell me about it so that nothing comes between us in our relationship. (Psalm 32:3-5)
Romans 3:23 says that all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glorious standard. We must recognize that all of us — even those straight-as-an-arrow kids — sometimes make huge mistakes that separate us from God.
My husband and I are doing our best to teach our kids that confession is an important part of keeping our relationship with God pure.
We share with them that sin separates, but that we don’t have to live in debilitating shame because of it. God made a way for us to stay confidently connected with Him despite our failures and that’s through a real relationship with Him where confession is a regular practice.

Godly Self-Confidence Truth #11:
I love to bring new life out of the sin or difficulties in your life. Let me use them to give you a testimony of my love for others too! (2 Corinthians 1:3-7)
Lastly, we want to teach our kids that everything in their lives is meant to be used by God.
Every trial and every tear has a purpose. Every comfort He gives through difficult times can be used to teach us how to comfort others through their own difficulties (2 Corinthians 1:3-7; 2 Corinthians 4:7-10).
We can boldly seek God in all circumstances — even when things don’t make sense on the surface — because we know that God is the great recycler. He transforms our darkest moments into glorious masterpieces that shine brightly for Him in a dark world.
Just knowing this simple truth can give our kids incredible confidence at all times!
