When there’s nothing to believe in, I believe in you
Forget the past and let my hand in yours be the proof
Though the strong could be my company you’re the one I choose
So remember, I believe in you

I know it feels like every eye is watching you
Waiting for you to fall, expecting you to lose
But I see victory, so all you have to do
Is remember I believe in you

I believe even when I see you crying
I believe, let me dream for you
When nothing comes from trying
Remember, I believe in you

There will come a day when love will lift you out of here
There will come a day when love will bring the truth
There will come a day when love will free you from your fear
And you’ll remember I believe in you
--Bethany Dillon, "I Believe in You"

I love the words to this song. I have listened to it much over the last few days of endless driving. I love the imagery of God singing this over me. I think over my life and where God has brought me from...and especially in regards to this last year to see how He never gave up on me...but He dreamed for me. Sometimes I fall into that trap of putting too much emphasis on what other people think of me as opposed to what God thinks of me. I want other people affirm me more than I want God to affirm me. But the fact of the matter is, people will fail...and God never will. God always believes in us...He has promised to finish the good work He has started in us...and He will be faithful to that promise, even when things are unclear and messy. As you can maybe tell if you have read my blogs in the past or know me at all, I have much on my mind. I would appreciate your prayers for wisdom and for peace. Transitions are hard...and this one is proving harder than I had anticipated.
