The truth is, God sees the good in you. That different being is whom God loves. There's both spiritual health and spiritual sickness in the constant ego-lifting rant. Too many of us still expect, and demand, too little of ourselves. We think we can't, or worse, we think someone should do it for us.
Confidence is successful, it's sexy, and it can also be quite holy.
With God, nothing is impossible. The same is true with you when you operate with God. There is no beer or cigaret that can make you sexy, no car that can make you upper-class just by owning it, no software program that can suddenly make your family life great, no clothing that can make you hip if your personality isn't hip with it, no investment plan that will make you as rich as Bill Gates. Once you get confident, it dosn't take much to swing it in a direction that's surreal. That's why God is referred to sometimes as 'Ultimate Reality' or 'the Ground of Existence', because God is who makes 'real' real, and who ultimately insists that you get real too.
