Jesus wants us to be on fire for him - bold, confident, and unashamed - but we can sometimes put our confidence in people instead of in God. The story of Peter denying Jesus (Luke 22:54-62) is a great examples of someone who loved Jesus, but his fear was stronger than his faith. Even though Peter failed, Jesus didn't give up on him. In John 21:15-17, Jesus forgave Peter and called him to be a bold leader. Peter began to preach the gospel to thousands of people and had full confidence in God.

If you are a follower of Jesus, you can be confident in your faith In every aspect of your life - at school, with your teammates, with your friends. People may not always agree with you, but you're never alone. Jesus is with you, just like he was with Peter.
