Isn’t it amazing how much we gain wisdom as we age? We go from teenagers thinking we know everything to truly understanding that as a young person, we knew nothing at all. Paul the apostle wrote all those centuries ago that each of us must learn to be content. In our own selfishness that is probably one of the hardest things to do. There is so much that draws us in this world. Desiring the best health is no exception.
My own cancer experience allowed me to grow tremendously in my relationship with Christ. There was a need there that even I was not aware of until I walked through it. I’ve known many others diagnosed with cancer who said the same thing. This disease actually ended up being a blessing. Even as dire as my diagnosis was, the spritual growth was tremendous. I have even wondered if I was even saved from eternity in hell before the diagnosis. I thought I was. Then I really began to examine God’s Word and there was much growth and understanding that still needed to come. God has indeed been very merciful to me.
If you are facing cancer or some other type of major health scare, take a look at your relationship with God. Read your bible. Take notes from your bible. God is speaking to you through His written word. Grow in understanding. This may also be your opportunity to discover for sure if your eternity is truly with Him or not.
