I Believe in You

"I believe in you"

When I say that to someone it (first) puts my heart at rest. Which is where it should be. It's actually having a long term vision for them, seeing their success (maybe before they do). It usually comes when the way is rocky, when the going is rough, at the point of decision--give up or keep going.

I've learned something funny: it really doesn't matter what I think or feel--only to know 'has God called them?' 'Is it in their heart to do it?'

Then do it.
There will be grace and strength for it.

So what is my place in the moment?
To offer a steadfast heart and a steady gaze. I believe in you.

"I believe in you" is a gift that puts the other person's heart at rest. It gives confidence, affirms their unique journey, believing in the grace and strength that's there to walk it well.

Steady your stance again, fix your eyes, move ahead and believe (maybe for the first time) that you are capable. And you are not alone.

As with so many things, I can only give gifts of the heart that I already posses...

Do I believe in the grace and strength God has for me?
Can I be steady-hearted and sure-footed?
Knowing I'm not alone?
Believing for a brilliant outcome?

Believing He's that good?
