My dear sister in Christ, Low self-esteem can be sneaky. It doesn’t always look like timidity or fear. Sometimes, it shows up as arrogance or a tough attitude that looks like confidence on the outside. But true confidence is not loud or defensive. Proverbs 31:25 describes a godly woman as clothed with strength and dignity. She doesn’t need to prove herself—she knows who she is in Christ.
When a lady hasn’t healed from rejection or past wounds, she may develop a hardened attitude. She may speak sharply, dismiss others quickly, or refuse correction. But James 3:17 reminds us that wisdom from above is gentle and open to reason. A healthy self-esteem is not prideful. It’s peaceful and willing to listen, because it’s not afraid of being wrong or misunderstood.
True confidence listens before it speaks and seeks understanding before making decisions. Proverbs 14:29 says, “Whoever is patient has great understanding.” A woman who knows her worth in Christ doesn’t rush to defend herself. She lets the Holy Spirit guide her words and actions. Humility becomes her strength, not a sign of weakness.
So dear one, examine your heart. Is your attitude a reflection of healing or hurt? Let the Word of God speak to your soul. Allow Him to rebuild your self-esteem on truth, not past pain. You are valuable, lovable, and strong—not because of how loud you are, but because of who lives inside you.
