When Someone Places Faith In You to ignite your own
It feels so energising and freeing when someone believes in you.
The victim mentality we can carry is draining and when someone else comes along and brings some faith to the party when you have very little of it feels great.
It’s like their faith ignites your own. But when you are in the grips of a victim mentality it can at first feel like the other person doesn't love you because they are not smothering or helicoptering over you. The verse below comes to mind first but I also know taken out of context this may not be the ideal verse.
ESVFor where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them."
and thinking back I actually remember a time once when I was at the park with my granddaughter and another little boy was wanting to climb the slide and his guardian was dampening his spirit by discouraging him telling him he will fall. He was doing his best but with no zeal and I said, “go on, you can do it” and he shot up and had a great big smile on his face and looked at me. Of course, he could have fell, but I couldn't help smiling myself to see how he changed his spirit.
does any other verse spring to your mind that may more accurately explains the faith that others have for you makes yours ignite too?
