Is Believing in Myself Enough?

By: Russ Matthews

Jesus said in John 14 – Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.

This verse came to mind for me during the screening of the blockbuster hit Inside Out 2. This discussion of belief was at the heart of the film.

Interestingly, the conversation continually fell short as it failed to mention God in the mix.

In this era, we desire for people to have a healthy self-confidence, which is a good thing.

Yet, to build our belief and confidence structure on our personal abilities and emotions will fail you in the long run.

Alternatively, to have a healthy and robust belief system based on the one who is perfect and unchanging, meaning God. This is when you may begin to realise that the only place to discover true belief is less in yourself and more in the God who created you. The one who truly knows you Inside and Out.
