My Cancer. God's Grace. His Glory.ಮಾದರಿ

I was enjoying the fruit of having been taught by the Lord how to trust in the PROMISES of His word.

Two months before my diagnosis during an extremely difficult trial, Psalm 16 became a source of great comfort and strength. Just as the psalmist proclaimed the Lord was my portion and my cup! He was/and is more than enough! He was my life and my all. There was the joy of His calling and the honor of serving Him in whatever He may be asking of me.

The Lord PREPARED me very specifically. Years earlier, Kerry, our ministry bookkeeper shared that she was just diagnosed with breast cancer for a second time. She had already undergone a mastectomy, chemo, and radiation and now she needed to go through it all again.

I witnessed the Lord’s love and care for her as she lost her hair, and became sick, and weak. She was filled with peace, joy, and hope, never missed a day of work, and was so happy to do whatever the Lord had for her.

Deuteronomy 31:8: "It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."

In His love, the Lord brought me near to someone who was going through the very thing I feared the most. He allowed me to witness His deep and abiding love. I could see His arms loving around her and see her resting in them. I could see her resting in His love. God's Word is so true; there is no fear in love, but PERFECT LOVE casts away all fear!
