Romans 8:24-25.... For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Receiving the News that you have a terminal illness such as cancer can be devastating,As Gods children we want to believe that God has a reason and Purpose in our afflictions,We look to the bible for Inspiration,When we Know someone who is suffering or we ourselves have been Diagnosed with cancer.I have come to learn a lot from talking with people suffering with terminal illnesses,People i have counseled over the years and as i look forward to go for the 10km prayer for those that are suffering,fighting,and have received news of possible cancer of any kind,Here are a few thoughts I want to share from in scripts of the bible and others who have fought and gone ahead of Us,I hope they will Inspire those going through any kind of Situation and be rest assured It will keep you going.Because some days there won't be a Song in your heart coz of the agony,pain and fatigue or Tiredness.....SING anyway.Recovery is not bought by the Physician but by the sick person,you heal yourself by your own power given to you through the holy spirit,as you walk by the means of this power,or eat,or breath,or sleep,that power says YOU CAN DO IT even in pain.When the Japanese Mend a broken object,they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold,they believe that when something suffered damage it has a history,it becomes more beautiful,so if you are going through hell keep going,A great general once said ' Disease is a war with the Laws of our being and ALL war is HELL fear can keep us up all night but FAITH......faith makes one fine pillow.When you feed your faith your fears starve to death...as i read Paul's letters he reminds us in Hebrews that we should fight the good fight of faith it is a fight not a stand.....but when you are tired of fighting like any boxer who goes to his corner to get pumped up for the next round make sure you have Jesus and loving family waiting for you in that corner and a crowd of supporters for that hope is EVERYTHING....Once you choose that hope Everything is possible.
I Have gone through lots with my children and i have learnt alot just by observation,that silenced me to look up more,If children have the ability to Ignore ALL odds and percentages,then maybe we can all learn from them,When you think about it there is no other choice but that HOPE.....or is there?We have two options Medically and emotionally,you either GIVE UP....or FIGHT the HELL...... so what is hope? Jesus says....He is our hope and glory,hope is Griefs best Music,Hope never abandons you,You abandon it,Some see a hopeless end others see an endless hope.Hope is the word which God has written on the brow of every man We cannot direct the wind as one person said but we can adjust the sails so its not our position but our disposition that makes us happy.
Every tomorrow has two handles,we can take hold of it by the handle of anxiety,or by the handle of faith.That our life's lesson look up to Jesus let him be your song,your strength and your hope he is waiting to charge you up on that corner,He will not abandon you.My 10km Prayer Run is for all of you....it is a prayer that you will Love,Laugh,and mostly go through every situation every step with God guiding you and his light,his hope and joy shinning in you through the hell,by sending you nourishment for your soul,your body and your spirit...God bless you. With warmest hugs....Susan xoxoxo
