I Believe In You

I Believe in You

“I’ll believe it when I see it.” “Stop blowing smoke up my %#*@!” “How can I trust you, when all you’ve done is lied?”

Everybody makes mistakes. Some small, some grave. But what if a person only heard negative all his life and you were the first person to believe in the new him. Give people a chance to prove themselves. Offer encouraging words and stick with them until you r-e-a-l-l-y believe your support is useless. Even then, don’t close the door to the possibility of change. You may be that light of hope that allows them to turn their lives around. God never gives up on you!

Inspired by Matthew 21:28-32

Jesus said, “What do you think? A man had two sons; he went to the first and said, “Son, go and work in the vineyard today.” He answered, ‘I will not’; but later he changed his mind and went. The father went to the second and said the same; and he answered, ‘I go, sir’; but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him; and even after you saw it, you did not change your minds and believe him.”
