Self-confidence can often be taken as arrogance. Yes, pride can wiggle in and pervert our sense of self BUT - listening to that inner voice and knowing what you believe is not pride, or arrogance. It is a confidence that children of God are called to because of our identity in Christ.I really like what Jane Austen had to say about this:
“We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.”
As a Christian woman, it is wrong for me to allow poor self-esteem (or arrogance for that matter) to get in the way of living.
