When we witness confidence in others we know it.  It is conveyed in all facets of their being including verbal expression, body language, posture, and word choice.  We give credence to the person we see as confident.  We believe what they are telling us.  If we stop to look closer, we will notice they give credence to the message they are conveying.  They believe themselves to their core.  This is how we can be deceived by those who provide us faulty information.  We fall for it because we are not buying into what they say or do as much as who they are being when they say or do it. The same can be said for ourselves.  When we give credence to what lies at the core of who we are, we will convey whatever message is housed in there with everything we do.  If we believe we are not worth others’ time, we will convey that message and others will see us as not worth their time.  If we give credence and value to what we are sharing with another person as our truth, they will believe us because it comes through our verbal expression, body language, posture and word choice.  Just saying it to someone else will not enable them to see its truth.  For many years our ancestors lived and related to each other without formal language.  We needed a way to be able to pick up on messages being conveyed other than through words.  We still possess this capability.  If we want others to believe what we are saying and doing, we need to start with giving credence to what is the truth of our hearts.  God invites us over and over again to pause and look inward to find the jewel of our being beneath whatever circumstance created beliefs we have thrown over our hearts. If we are not conveying with credence through our being what we think we believe about ourselves it would behoove us to take a closer look and see how it might differ from how God sees us.
