Week 42

I wrote the following after receiving the results of a CT scan that had partcularly unsettling results. It was my way of telling my enemy (Leiomyosarcoma) that with God on my side I had no fear of this evil disease.

This I Know

God knows me and loves me despite my many faults, failings and sins.

Nothing can ever separate me from His love, which will never end and never diminish. No success by me in worldly matters will cause Him to love me more, and no worldly failure will cause Him to love me less.

His plan for my life, born out of His love for me, is for my good, not for my harm, and extends throughout eternity. It is perfect in every way. I cannot improve on it, nor do I wish it to be different than what it is.

My goal with the time I have left on earth is to want God to finish the good work He has begun in me, to fulfill His purpose for my life, and for me to glorify His name in all I think, say and do.

I will put my trust in Him.

“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can [any disease] do to me?” Hebrews 13:6

“What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31
