I received negative news today. Someone I love dearly was diagnosed with cancer. Yes, cancer... we've all heard it, we've all have seen it. We know Someone that had it, either a friend or family member, an acquaintance you once met at a friends party dinner or even as a personal experience. But we all have heard the devastating news, we have used the word at some point in our lives and T even felt the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it.
Being diagnosed with any type of cancer its a very scary thing, eventhough I haven't personally experience such a thing, I see it everyday in my field of work and I know how devastating it is to receive those news. First thought that comes to mind is, how long is this person or am I going to live? How bad is it and can we treat it immediately? Usually people tend to think the worst and have negative thoughts about it. But with time I've learned that the best approach is to be hopeful, be positive and trust... trust in God, have faith!
We seek God in our weakest moments, in or deepest time of need, and why not? He is our support, our healer, our counselor and he gives us the strength to overcome any obstacle, any trial that we face. You may not have a spiritual life but when somthing strikes you down you run and seek God, he is the only one that can provide the peace that comes within which surprisingly, its what keeps us going. I know that for some people this can be very unrealistic, but faith is not based on what we can see, and whats factual. Instead it originates from what can't be proven, what can't be tested or measured. I belive things can turn around. Just like they negatively turned around, they will turn around again with a positive outlook.
If you have ever being a position where you can help a friend in need at their worst, I encourage you to do it. Sometimes we can't do more than just be there, pay a visit, give a word of encouragement, at the end, thats our role in this world. We can't be selfish all the time and let ourselved be carried away with live's little things that have no value. Being there for each other, supporting each other and lifting each other up is our purpose in this world. One word of encouragement can mean the world to the person who hears it. Lets lift our eyes, smile at the people around us and love one another.
Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security.
Jeremiah 33:6
"Even if your body isn't healthy, your soul overcomes that, it doesn't even care, it worships anyway, it's joyful anyway. That's what God wants to give you in your life."
