I had a song in my heart this morning. It’s called Strangely Dim by Francesca Battistelli (I feel like her albums are the soundtrack to my life). And as I listened to the words I realized that this song has been with me through some of my toughest battles. God gave me this song when I was at my end and couldn’t do anything except focus on him. It always comes back when I need that extra reminder that if I just keep my eyes on Him nothing can stop me. I feel like this is my fight song.
I can remember sitting in my closet crying and pouring my heart out to God listening to this song and feeling Him wrap His arms around me and tell me to just focus on Him and it will all work out. I don’t know if you have ever been hugged by Jesus but if you have you know what I mean when I say it is literally the best feeling ever. Nothing on this entire earth can top it. I remember feeling peace despite my turmoil and just feeling every worry I had fade away because my Abba was there with me holding my hand and leading me through it.
When I am in the middle of a battle I have learned and am still learning to look up and remember that my Abba is with me. And like the song says..
“I don’t know, I don’t know
What tomorrow may hold
But I know, but I know
That You’re holding it all
So no matter what may come
I’m gonna fix my eyes on all that You are
‘Til every doubt I feel
Deep in my heart
Grows strangely dim
Let all my worries fade
And fall to the ground
I’m gonna seek Your face
And not look around
Til the place I’m in
Grows strangely, strangely, strangely dim.”
So, thank you Abba for the song in my heart on this Monday morning
