The God who Believes in Me

If you have lived for any length of time then you have probably been told that you couldn't do something. Now, I'm not talking about the... you can't have another cookie because you've already had two, type thing. I'm talking about the... you can't because you are too fat. You can't because you are too short. You can't because you're not good enough.

These comments that people tell us, are like pages that turn into chapters that eventually turn into books. We stash those books in a library that we keep in our mind. We pull them out, read over them, and let the words inside have power over our lives.

I can't go on pointe in ballet because of my flat feet. I can't partner because I weigh too much. I can't get into a ballet program in college because of my technique level. I can't be a dancer because I won't be able to support myself.

It may feel like the whole world is against you. Everyone tells you good luck and
laughs when you try. You try and try and never get picked. You work hard and never get a moment in the spotlight. Regardless of how many people are against you, there is always one who will always be for you.

I believe in the God who believes in me. I believe in the God who encourages and supports me. No matter what.

No matter how many times people tell me that I can't, he will always tell me that I can. He believes in me, he supports me, and he encourages me to believe in myself. He helps me to change the I can't into the I can. He gives me a glimpse that for once, maybe I can.
