Mind Renewal Tip:
When making others feel valued -- Confidence and arrogance are important to differentiate between. Arrogance makes others thing you are more important than them. Confidence is the ability to show others how you see their value because you also understand your own.

Scripture Renewal Tip:
You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven". Matthew 5:14-16
