God Believes in You

Sometimes, you know, it's it's easy to to take things that are going on in our lives personally, what other people might be saying Or sometimes we're struggling through trials and we have difficult issues in our lives and we might question our ability to kind of make it through like do I have the wherewithal to get through these difficult situations and you know we're wondering like uh man why did God call me? Did he make some sort of mistake? And uh maybe you've prayed if you're in one of these uh valleys in life that prayer of like I

help you know Lord I believe but help my unbelief and you're trying to see what God is doing with you. So if that's the case I hope that this message assures you that you're not alone. We we all go through these ups and downs. Um, and I want to encourage you just to say that uh that God believes in you. Yes, God believes in you.

Of course, we're all here because we believe in God. We believe in God. Not just, of course, that God exists, but that uh as it says in Hebrews 11, that God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him. You we have faith in God. We have faith that he created the universe, that he set up uh the way the world works, that he there's a moral order.

We believe that he sent Jesus Christ to die for our sins. We believe that he calls people into his church. We believe that he's establishing an everlasting kingdom and that he's guaranteed eternal life. You know, we have faith in all these things, in God and all of his purposes, in those promises that he gives us.

But there's something that maybe you haven't considered it in this way. It's that you have faith in God, but God also has faith in you. God has faith in you. And I want to prove that to us with scripture today. And um I can talk pretty fast, so we're going to go to several different lots of scriptures today.

So consider yourself warned. All right. So, let's go ahead and start out in Galatians 5 22. And we're going to be establishing some groundwork here about the nature of God. So, Galatians 5:22 where we talk about the fruit of the spirit. Galatians 5 22 says that the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

Against such there is no law. So these are the core character traits of God. They are what the Holy Spirit produces in us as he is working in our lives. And so I want to concentrate on two of these things today. Two of them in particular. One of them is love and the other is faithfulness. So love and faithfulness.

And I'm going to tackle faithfulness first. If you do a word study, this Greek word for faithfulness is pistus. It carries two aspects to it. There are two aspects to this term pistice. Um, and the first one is loyalty or fidelity. Loyalty or fidelity. And it's because of this trait that we know that we can absolutely trust God.

If he values something, he will make sure that it happens. When he says he's going to do something, he's going to do it. And conversely, if he says he hates something, there is no way he is going to do that thing. If he wants something done, he will prioritize it. And so, we know that we can 100% trust in God.

Whatever he tells us is faithful and true. You can take that to the bank. Okay? So, that's the first aspect of this faithfulness. And then the other side of the same coin is confidence and trust. So that's another definition for this Greek word, confidence and trust. Now, of course, we're supposed to be developing this in our relationship with God. We place our confidence in him.

We tell we believe what he tells us. We trust in him to provide us with all the things that we need. But if this is the essence of what God is, then that means he is doing the same thing. God's instinct is also want is to want to trust and have confidence in those that he calls as saints into his church, into his family.

When the father decided to call you, he didn't lean over to Jesus Christ sitting at his right hand and say, "I'm not sure he's going to make it, but you know, we'll we'll give it a shot." No, it's God knows something that makes him have confidence that you can make it. You can absolutely make it or he would not have called you.

And sometimes, like I said, we're going through trials and we might have a hard time in believing this, but it's absolutely true. So, let's keep reading here because we talked about that faithfulness. So, let's look at that other aspect of one of the core things about God is love. Paul wrote extensively about that uh in 1 Corinthians.

So, let's go ahead and and go over to first 1 Corinthians chapter 13. Man, I'm turning there so often it's literally falling out of my Bible. 1 Corinthians chapter 13 and we're going to jump into verse 4 here of the love chapter. 1 Corinthians chapter 13:4. Paul describes what godly love does. Love suffers long and is kind.

Love does not envy. Love does not parade itself and it is not puffed up. It does not behave rudely. It does not seek its own and is not provoked. Thinks no evil. Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. I want to again drill down into two words in particular here in verse 7.

Believes all things and hopes all things. So believes and hopes. Again, the Greek word for believes is pistuo, which obviously derives from that word pistus for faith that we just talked about a minute ago. And what it means is to credit or have confidence. To credit or have confidence. And it's the quality of love that believes the best about other people.

because I love God, I believe that he has the best my best interest at heart. And that's why Paul can write like in Romans uh 8:28 that we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. You Paul went through a lot of hardship and he details that in some places.

you know, he was shipwrecked, he was robbed, he was stoned, all these things. He was imprisoned. And yet, he could say with confidence because he had this quality, he had confidence in God. Uh, and you can think about this in your personal life with people that you give credit to and have confidence in. Like my wife for example, you know, I credit her with the best of intentions.

you know, if uh you know, she makes me coffee or whatever, if she forgets the cream or you whatever the case is, I know that she has good intentions and she's she's trying to do something helpful. I have confidence in her. I believe in her because she's, like I said, she wants the best. And it's the same as we see uh it's the same with God.

Like he knows that he has confidence in you. He knows you can succeed. He called you because he believes you can make it. And yeah, like sometimes you'll be trying to do the right thing and you'll fail. He knows that, too. But he absolutely has confidence in you. He's not going to give up on you just because you make mistakes along the way.

And the second aspect of that word or the second word uh there in 1 Corinthians 13:7 is hope. Love hopes all things. And that Greek word used for the word hope is elito. And that means to expect or anticipate with pleasure. to expect or anticipate something that's going to happen. And that's the feeling that you get.

Let's say you got small children. It's it's the feeling that you have when your baby's just learning to walk or your kids grow a little bit older and they're they're learning to ride a bicycle. Now, are they going to fall down? Yeah, they're going to fall down. There's going to be lots of tears and crying. some h I'm never going to get this.

But you're looking forward to it. You have anticipation because you see a bigger picture. You know that they're going to learn to walk. You know that they're going to learn to ride the bike. They're going to learn to read. They're going to learn to do all of these things. And you can anticipate their success in these things.

And that's how our heavenly father looks at us. He knows that we're not there yet. He knows that we're learning. We're in the process. He knows that we'll struggle. But he knows that we can do it. It's this anticipation that he has. He has an expectant hope in you and in me, that we're on the process, that we can overcome, that we'll get there in time.

And he's looking forward to that. So when you look at these things and these are the things that are core character traits of God, he has faith, he has love, he's looking forward to the future, I I don't think it's a stretch to say that God's an optimist. It's part of the divine character. And so when we're we're thinking about why did God call me out of 8 billion people all across the planet? Why why was it you and not someone else? We we get kind of this picture a general answer in first Corinthians um chapter 1

verse 27. You maybe you remember this one. God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise and has chosen the the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty. You know, and that can kind of humble us and that that's good that we stay humble. But it kind of assumes something and it assumes that God, despite, you know, the the quality of of the tools that he's using, you know, maybe we think we're not the sharpest tool in the shed, he's going to succeed. He picked you

because he is anticipating success. God chose you because he believes that you can succeed. He is optimistic about your chances. And I I would like to just turn to some some scriptures here today just to really drive this home and to to help us to understand that God is a God of hope and we should be people of hope and optimism as well. We really should.

So let's go ahead and turn to a few scriptures here. Let's go ahead and start out with Romans chapter 8. Romans chapter 8 and I'll start reading verse 18 Romans 8 verse 18 where Paul is talking and he says for I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us for the earnest expectation and that's that same word I believe that hope in the future the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was

subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it in hope. So the the whole entire creation was built on God's plan. And these are all things there are aspects of this plan that haven't come to pass yet. We look to prophecies and promises of the future and they haven't happened yet. But God built this whole entire plan from the very beginning because he had the confident expectation that all of these things would happen exactly how he set them up to happen.

And you are part of that. You are part of that plan that he knows is going to succeed. So let's turn a few pages over again in Romans chapter 15 and we'll read more about how God is a God of hope. Romans 15 this time, Romans 15:13 where Paul talking to the Romans, you know, he's just given them these encouraging words back in chapter 8.

Now in chapter 15 verse 13 says, "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." So God himself is a God of hope and he wants his people to be people of hope. We're supposed to be filled with hope. That's part of what his spirit is building, the character that he's building within us.

God knows that everything will work out in the end. And we should have that optimism as well being built inside of us. Here's another one. Let's turn over to 1 Corinthians chapter 9. 1 Corinthians chapter 9 verse 10. We're kind of breaking into a thought here. Paul has a uh practice of we might say rambling on a bit. Verse 10 says, "Or does he say it all together for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt this is written that he who plows should plow in hope.

And he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope. So this is a a kind of a a farming analogy. Why does the farmer plant why does he he plant the seed in the ground? because he knows that if you plant the seed, good seed in good ground, you water it on time, it's going to grow. It's going to grow in time.

He doesn't plant it if if he thinks there's no point. He doesn't plant it if he has no hope that it will actually grow. And likewise, God sews his word in us, that he gives us his spirit because he knows who he's calling, that it can grow, that this is a process over time, that just like the seed germinates and the chute starts coming up out of the ground and the the plant grows and begins to to bud and to fruit, he knows that these are things that will happen with us.

It's just a process of time. He talks about this also over in Colossians chapter 1 verse 5. Colossians 15 again with the farming analogy. It says, "Because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven of which you heard before in the word of the gospel of the uh in the truth of the gospel which has come to you as it has also in all the world and it is bringing forth fruit as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God and truth.

" So he plants that seed and then it comes up and the plant grows and then whatever type of you know you got wheats it it uh it fruits you got fruit trees they put on the fruits that we pick God has that confidence that he's planting that seed in you now and that you are sprouting and growing and producing fruit and the of course the the ultimate fruit of that being borne out in the kingdom of God.

And if we just look over my page at my Bible, it's the next page, verse 27 here in Colossians. Colossians 1:27 says, "To them God w to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you the hope of glory." So that kind of stretches us out into the kingdom.

like you have this glory, this hope of glory inside you. And what was it, you know, that God the Father did with Jesus Christ? He was in the grave for three days and three nights and he resurrected him in glory to eternal life to set him at his right hand. And that's the same hope of glory that we have in the future.

That just as Christ died and was raised again to everlasting glory so he can be with the father for all time. That's the hope that we have inside of us as well. That God will resurrect our mortal bodies to immortal spirit bodies. And we'll have that hope inside of us. That's the hope that we have inside of us that this will come to pass that we have you this hope of Christ in us.

And the Bible talks a lot about this of Jesus Christ dwelling in us through the spirit. Let's look at a few of those verses to expand on that. Told you we'd be going to a lot of scriptures today. John 17 John 17 verse 20 where Jesus Christ here is praying to God the father in verse 20 of John 17 he's saying I do not pray for these alone just the disciples who were there with him but also for all those who will believe in me through their word that they all may be one as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be one in us. And that the world may

believe that you sent me. And the glory which you gave me, I have given them, that they may be they may be one just as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them just as you have loved me. God the Father and Jesus Christ.

They want to share that glory with us. They're sharing their Holy Spirit with us. That's how much they believe in our chances. They know that we can succeed. They want to be one with us. They're not calling anyone who they know can't do it. But we want more proof of that. Let's go over to Matthew chapter 11 for a nice visual picture here that shows us kind of what's going on.

Matthew 11 29 Matthew 11:29 or Jesus Christ is telling those followers of his. He says, "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." So, what is a yoke? What is a yoke? Maybe you've got in your mind a picture of one of those oldtime yolks all carved out of wood.

And it's for hitching up animals together, oxmen, mules, whatever you've got, so that they can do what? So that they can plow or pull, you know, pull a wagon or whatever they're doing together. So if you are in a yoke with Jesus Christ, your teammates, think about that. If Christ is willing to yoke himself to you, he's willing to be yolked to you.

He has faith that you can pull some weight. Now, of course, he's a senior partner. He's going to be pulling more weight than you are, but you are going to have your fair share. Now, sometimes maybe if it seems like your share is awfully heavy, then that just means that he's got a lot of faith in you. He's thinking, "No, you can do it.

I know you can do it. You can pull more than you think you can." Remember, he's not going to pick you if he thinks that he's going to have to drag dead weight. God's not dragging anyone into the kingdom. He's inviting you and you are moving along because you want to. And he wants you and he's going to be working with you to get there.

If he picked you, it's because he knows you can do it. You're going to need help. That's why you're yolked together. You're going to be pulling it together, but you can absolutely do it. There's a scripture in the Old Testament that I was reading through a while back and I was I read it and I was thinking, "Wow, it's amazing how God works with his people.

" Let's go back to Exodus and you'll see what I mean about the expectation of God that God has for his people. Exodus chapter 34 verse 10. Exodus 34:10. And here he's he's making this covenant with the physical people of Israel. And he tells them in verse 10, "Behold, I make a covenant before all your people. I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation, and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord.

For it is an awesome thing that I will do with you." And I looked up different renderings of this, not to make sure that I was getting the the feeling right. Not just I'll do great things in your sight. No. So the King James version renders this, it's a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

The Amplified Bible, it's a fearful and awesome thing that I am going to do with you. And the Christian Standard Bible says, "For what I am doing with you is awe inspiring." Remember, you are yolked to Jesus Christ. He is your teammate. He's doing it with you. And he's saying, "It's an awesome thing. I'm going to do amazing things with you.

" amazing things with you. You are on the team. You are in the family. God believes in you so much that he's, you know, Jesus Christ is yolked to you. You, he believed in you so much that he's already paid for you. He's put a down payment on you. We read that in Ephesians. You flip back up to the New Testament.

Ephesians chapter 1 verses 13 and 14. Ephesians 1:13 says, "In him you also trusted after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise." Verse 14 says, "Which is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession to the praise of his glory.

" That's like a a earnest payment. It's a down payment that God has made for you. Now, who here is going to pay a down payment on a house that they're not going to want to live in? Oh, yeah. I'll just drop uh, you know, tens of thousands of dollars on a house that I don't want to live in. No one's going to do that, right? And God's not God doesn't want to do that with you, too.

He has made a payment on you. And it's not because he knows you're worthless. No, the exact opposite. He wants your partnership. He wants you to be in his family. He believes in you. He knows that you can make it. So, he's he's, you know, yolked. Jesus Christ has yolked himself to us. He's given his life as a payment for us.

Not only that, he's given us his name. He's bringing us into the family. We can read about that in the Gospel of John. John 1 verse 12. I'll go ahead and turn to there. You don't have to. John 1:12 says, "But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become children of God to those believe who believe in his name.

" So he says, "Not only are we going to be partners and I'm going to pay for you, you're going to be part of my family." You know, this was apparently a very important concept to the Apostle John because he wrote about it again in his letters. First John, 1 John, you can write down 1 John chapter 3 verse 1. 1 John 3:1 says, "Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us that we should be called children of God.

" We're called children of God. We're given that name. God says, "I want you to be on my team. I am paying for you. I am adopting you into the family. I'm giving you my name. Now, God knows ex unlike us, you know, physical people. You when you have kids, you don't know who they're going to be before they're born.

And you you watch them as they grow like what's their personality going to be. God knows ahead of time. He created you. He knew he was going to call you. He called you in. He knew exactly who he was calling. Sometimes we can have that that thought of, oh man, does God know who he's calling? Like, do does he realize what I used to do or whatever before I I was called? Yeah, of course he does.

He got to pick you from all eight billion people, you know, and the billions and billions who've lived down through history before that. God chose you on purpose. And that speaks a lot about the confidence in the people that he calls. Yes, we're small. We're weak. We're not the mighty of the world. I mean, last time I checked, there's no Bill Gates or Elon Musk or, you know, there are no presidents, prime ministers in the church of God.

But that doesn't mean that we won't have a more enduring success than these business magnates, world leaders. All that's temporary. God wants eternal children, and he's picking children that he knows he can be proud of. Now, he's not naive. You We're not perfect. He knows that you'll have trouble. He knows sometimes you're going to fall.

Just like when we were talking about that expectation of hope that, you know, your kids are going to learn to walk and they're going to learn to ride their bicycles. You know, they fall down, they scrape their knees, they cry. We do that spiritually and we come to God and ask for help and he's glad to give us the help and hold us on our little bicycles and help us go and take off the training wheels and and see how we do on our own.

He knows that the temptation to sin and you know to slip up and fall is always there. You know, we've been the Bible talks about that from like the very beginning. You go all the way back to Genesis and with Cain and Abel. And notice what he said. Genesis 4:6. You write that down.

You know, what is he telling Cain? He Cain brings a sacrifice that is, you know, lacking in some sort of way. He tells Cain in Genesis 4:6, "The Lord said to Cain,"Wh are you angry and why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door and its desire is for you.

" So, there's always this temptation that we have. There's always, you know, we can always fall, but you should rule over it. He's telling all the way at the very beginning, one of the first people on the face of the planet, you can do it. You can make it. Now, of course, Cain chose not to. But we have something.

We have a advantage that Cain did not have. God has given us his very spirit. Like we talked about just a few moments ago, God is adopting us into the family. He's put his spirit. He's yoking us to his son so that we can be teammates. God assures us that that we can do it. We can make the right choices. Deuteronomy chapter 30 verse 11.

Deuteronomy 30 11. He's telling the people here like about what he's asking them to do. Deuteronomy 30:11 says, "For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. It is it is not in heaven that you should say, who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us that we may hear it and do it?" Nor is it out beyond the sea that you should say, "Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us that we may hear it and do it.

" But the word is very near to you. Is in your mouth and in your heart that you may do it. He's saying, "I'm giving this to you. It's not too hard for you. You can choose to do it, and I'll help you along the way." With God's help, you you can keep the commandments. You can overcome temptation.

not 100% of the time, but you can endure hardship and you can be successful. God wants that so much for each and every one of us. He's looking forward in anticipation, in hope. It tells us elsewhere what Jesus Christ told his followers, "Do not fear, for it's your father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

" God wants this so much. He's rooting for you 100% of the way. So we're thinking then about if God is if God is so much behind us and he has so much hope for us in the future, how should we react to that? How how should we feel about this confidence that God has in us and how he's given us his name and he's bringing us into the family and he's he's expecting us such great things for us as we learn and grow into this.

How how should we feel about this? Well, first of all, you know, we we might feel some humility. Um, and which is a healthy thing as long as it's not taken too far. You know, David felt this, you know, humbleness in the face of of his creator. We can read about that in Chronicles 1 Chronicles 17. 1st Chronicles 17:16 says that then King David went in and sat before the Lord and he said, "Who am I, oh Lord God, and what is my house that you have brought me this far?" And yet this was a small thing in your sight, oh God, and you have also spoken

of your servants's house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, oh Lord God. What more can David say to you for the honor of your servant? For you know your servant. David's saying, you know who I am. You know that I'm in myself, by myself.

if I'm nothing great and you've given me all this pro all these promises and we're in that same position like we're nothing special and God has given us promises of of eternal life reigning with Jesus Christ and his kingdom and we should have that humility but we should also have that trust that it's going to take place because God is faithful and he's told us what he's doing ahead of time.

Another feeling that we can have as we we realize, you know, how much faith God has in us and and the responsibilities that God has given us. We should feel gratitude. Gratitude for these promises that God is coming along and helping us and giving us a destination. Gratitude. Again, David is a a great example of someone who who showed gratitude to God for all the things that he had given him.

He talks about this in the Psalms. Psalm 116. You can write a few of these down. Psalm 116 verse one, David says, "I love the Lord because he has heard my voice and my supplication. Because he has inclined his ear to me. Therefore, I will call upon him as long as I live. The pains of death surrounded me, and the pains of shiel laid hold of me.

I found trouble and sorrow, and I called upon the name of the Lord. Oh Lord, I implore you, deliver my soul. In verse 5, gracious is the Lord and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful. The Lord preserves the simple. I was brought low, but he saved me. Return to your rest, oh my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

And we can all say that same thing like God has been so gracious to us and he's calling us to to ever greater things in the future. Another thing that we should absolutely feel a response to God's calling and his promises is admiration. Like when you admire someone, you want to be more like them. You aspire to be more and more like them.

talks about this in Ephesians. Ephesians chapter 4 verse 14 and Paul is talking about growing up spiritually again jumping in in the middle of his thought. Ephesians 4:14 saying that we should no longer be children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the trickery of men and the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting.

So we're growing up. We're growing past these things. Verse 15, but speaking the truth in love, we're to grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ. So we're admiring our older brother, Jesus Christ, and we're trying to be more and more like him. grow up to be just like him, to measure up to that. We should absolutely seek to emulate our father and our older brother, make to want to make God proud and to to be able to to give like we heard in the sermonet, you know, shine that light that we get from God and be a

mirror to shine that onto others as well. Just as as Christ was generous and and healed those who came to him, we are also that we can show love and generosity to those that we interact with. Another thing that we should be filled with knowing that God is behind us, that God guarantees a victory is confidence.

Paul talks about it this in Philippians chapter 4 verse 11. You know Paul had a lot of trouble through life almost died multiple times for the work of God. But notice what he says. Philippians 4, Philippians 4:1, he says, "Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am to be content.

I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things, I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." He realized, you know, he had this picture in mind like he's yolked to Jesus Christ and they're partners.

Christ is pulling the weight and you're plotting along with him and Jesus Christ is not going to fail. So, as long as you're yolked to him, you are not going to fail. We can have confidence that whatever trials that God is seeing us through, we can get through them. We'll make it to the end as long as we don't give up.

And then one last thing to just connect right to that confidence is determination. Determination. So last scripture here, Hebrews chapter 12. Hebrews 12:1 says that therefore we also since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ens snares us and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross despising the shame and has sat down at the right

hand of the throne of God, you know, Jesus Christ again, we can look back to what I was talking about earlier like this hope in the future is a core aspect of what God is. And he was able to look forward and hope and see yes, there's going to be a lot of suffering in the meantime, but the end goal will be more than worth it.

And that gave him the ability to endure a horrible agonizing death on top of false accusations and betrayal and all those things that he had to go through. And it should give us determination too that whatever we are going through, whatever trials, whatever things that we have to endure, we can do that. We can absolutely do that.

God has given us a very high calling and Jesus Christ has come to be our partner and to dwell inside of us. And it's because he has confidence in us. And that confidence is not misplaced. He knows that we can do it. He knows that we can do it. So I just want to finish up by saying like never give up. Don't ever give up.

Don't tell yourself that you can't make it. Don't let anyone else convince you that you can't make it. We're all only human. We'll all make mistakes. We have ups and downs through life. But you can overcome. God wouldn't have called you if he didn't think that you could make it. God has faith in you. God has faith in you.

We believe in God and God believes in us. You I was looking for a a quote to end the message with. I I found a a good one from an old country song. Maybe some of you will remember this one. country song by Jean Watson called Because You Believed in Me. I believe these are maybe the the last of the song says, "Your love is the key that unlocked the door that led me to impossible dreams.

It was easy to capture the dreams I ran after because you believed in me." But don't forget that God, you believe in God, God believes in you.
