I still believe

Did you ever hear that song by the Call? I remember when it came out how good it made me feel.

I was probably initially drawn to the lyric by the performance. I mean I love the passion with which Michael Been stated his belief and I did identify with the lyric primarily about standing for Christ when all others have faded.

But like all great art, the song began to transcend one level meaning and highlight and inform other areas of my heart and mind. And I came back to it today. I'm hearing it in my head as I type.

Why? I had a lunch today with someone of very great insight who looked me in the eye, when I had just gotten done renouncing myself and my talents (too old, not good enough etc.) and he said in essence "I still believe". He believes in me.

What that does to your soul cannot be overstated.

I left that table a renewed person. Find someone you know who needs to hear it and tell them
you still believe in them. Their callings, their gifts, their talent, their trustworthyness.

It will be good. Then sing the old Call song with me
" I'll march this road, I'll clime this hill
upon my knees if I have to
I'll take my place upon this stage"

yea.... believe
