Strong Enough to Bend

I enjoy listening to country music. One song I remember from several years ago is "Strong Enough to Bend" sung by Tanya Tucker. The lyrics tell of the ups and downs of a relationship and compares that to a tree. When storms buffet the tree, it must be strong enough to bend under the assault in order to survive, in order not to break. It is the same with relationships.

Sometimes we take the easy way out and walk away, rather than to bend. But, when we do, the pain of "what might have been" can eat away at our soul. God can give the strength required to withstand the storms of life. He doesn't promise we'll always have a clear, and beautiful day, but He does promise to be with us as we endure the storms.
