Life can be described in many ways. However, one adjective that often does not fit when describing this experience is “easy.” Yes, there are good, happy, and joyous occasions, reasons and causes for celebration. Births, graduations, promotions, marriages, and retirements are things we’re blessed to experience.
However, as you already know and understand, life is not an endless string of over-the-moon, top-of-the-world moments. In fact, it can often be quite the opposite. Situations and circumstances can arise, through no fault of our own, that absolutely wreck and destroy us emotionally and physically. Sorrow, pain, and heartache are all very real.
In her song “Strong,” Anne sings about these moments when she is hurt, broken, and beaten down. During these instances of immense pain and grief, Anne is grateful that she has a heavenly Father who is more than capable. He is strong and can pull us through situations when our strength is lacking and incompetent.
As Anne beautifully sings, even in her times of weakness, she is still strong because of the love, guidance, and protection of Jesus Christ. He picks her up when she has fallen and is always faithful to see her through every situation.
“I’m strong when I’ve got nothing
I’m strong even when I’m weak
Cause the strong arms of my Savior
Are holding on to me”
The world is a lost and fallen place. There will be instances when you feel broken, defeated, and unable to continue the fight. But even in this weakened state, we are strong because He is faithful and loving, right there in the fight with us, holding us up.
