Description

"I Can Do All Things" is the title of my photograph, featuring colorful red berries growing wild in the woods, but the Bible verse quote that it contains, has such a personal meaning to me. Sometimes a Bible scripture helps you to get through a really difficult time in your life. That is exactly what this one did. "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength" from Philippians 4:13 helped me to get through the death of my only child.
My son passed away at the age of 22 and it was absolutely, without a doubt the most heartbreaking time in my life. He was a wonderful son with a very easy going disposition. He was so intelligent and his curiosity was always peaked about something new he wanted to learn. He loved school and loved everyone. When he died, it felt as if a part of me had died with him.
At my lowest times, this verse would come to mind. Sometimes, it would be my own mother reminding me of it and telling me that God would see me through this and give me the strength to go on. Sometimes it would just give me the strength and fortitude to go to sleep and then face another day without my son to talk to and physically see. It reminded me again that the One who knew the whole plan of man was there to help me through it and I had to trust that He would.
This Bible verse does not mean that God will give you anything you want if you just believe strongly enough. However, Philippians 4 shows that the apostle Paul, writing as a prisoner to Christians in the ancient city of Philippi, was speaking of "the secret of being content in any and every situation" � not necessarily about God giving him favorable circumstances.
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want," Paul writes in verse 12, before revealing the source of his contentment in verse 13: his trust in Christ.
So even though I was grieving and did not know, at the moment, how I would go on, it gave me assurance that I WOULD go on, with the Lord's help. It taught me. even in this dire circumstance and extreme grief, that I had to trust Him and be content. The Philippians scripture is more about, to me, submitting to God's will, even if it is not what we want or even if it is a hardship on us, because we trust His will and His plan for our lives. I prayed often and I made it one day at a time, trusting in God more than I EVER had in my life. My faith grew as I looked forward to seeing my son again one day in heaven. Yes, I still struggle and I miss my child daily. And, I honestly do NOT know what I would have done if I had not had my faith in God. So yes, "I CAN do all things through Him who gives me strength."
