Grace Living in Grace

Dear gym rats, If someone were to ask you,  "Why do you like working out so much?",   how would you respond? Think about it. Respond in your head.  To those who do not enjoy working out in any way, shape, or form, why do you think some others work out so much? Go on, answer in your head. Or out loud. That might be a little weird, but whatever floats your boat. I am just going to guess that in your train of thought, the word, "confidence", came up, or perhaps a branched-out version of it such as "self-confidence", "self-esteem", something like that. Was I right? I know, for me, that word, confidence, came to my mind! Now, what if I were to tell you that, as a child of God, confidence is really not all it is cracked up to be.  What if I said that confidence really should not be part of that "why" statement at all? When I am talking about confidence right now, I am referring to SELF-confidence. Keep that in mind. Perhaps you are scoffing...
