When I heard your greeting, the baby in my womb jumped for joy. You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.”
_{Luke 1:44-45 NLT}

Because you believed
you left all you knew
for a promised land
and a nation was born.

Because you believed
your slavery became
the saving grace
of the people.

Because you believed
you led the people
through sea waters
on dry land.

Because you believed
you married a king
to save your people
for such a time as this.

Because you believed
a barren womb gave birth
a virgin conceived
a star was born.

All because you believed.
