Does God believe in me?

Doesn’t it feel good when someone loves you…. believes in you?

Someone once said, ‘Ask not “ Do I believe in God?” but instead…..ask “Does God believe in me?”

That’s a question I explored a few weeks ago, with Trinity Chapel full of 11 and 12 year olds. We considered Billy Elliot and the huge sacrifice his father made to get him into Dance School. Brilliant film.

As we launch into a New Year, it is a mind-blowing question to think about.

Because if God DOES believe in me that means His infinite resources are there for me! Wow!

‘This is love…..not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son….’ 1 John 4:10

If, then, God believes in me it is always ‘and’ and never ‘but’.
‘But’, you say……
‘And’, God says…..

And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid…….Matthew 10:30
And underneath are the everlasting arms. Deut 33:27
And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God. Romans 8:28

May you have enough faith to grasp this truth. It will take you through 2010 and beyond.

God believes in me!
