Believe It!

Too good to be true
Dare to believe it
Let yourself receive it
What if it actually turns out better than you thought?
What if the surprises are truly good?
 
Are you afraid of failing?
Afraid of letting someone down?
All these years you’ve lived – look at all you’re standing on
You’ve succeeded and failed
Each time you’ve gotten back up stronger
Started again and gone farther
 
Grown – You have grown in more ways than you know!
You’ve faced disappointment, betrayal and fear
You’ve fallen down and failed even yourself
But you are not crushed or giving up
 
You have gained ground, not lost it!
Look at who you have become
All those places where you endured, fought and overcame
Courage – you have faced your fears instead of stopping
Faith –  you have wrestled with doubts and grown stronger
Hope – you have overcome discouragement and pressed on
You are becoming!
 
You are well on your way!
You know your weaknesses, the places you are growing –
But you also know your strengths and places of grace.
Willing to risk, try and enjoy the stretching along with the ease
Under no illusion of perfection, you are content to grow; to become
Hope from within you spreads light before you and into it you go –
Let yourself receive it!
