What Cancer Cannot Do

Cancer is so limited
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot erode faith
It cannot eat away peace
It cannot destroy confidence
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot shut out memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot reduce eternal life
It cannot quench the spirit
It cannot lesson the power of the resurrection

If an incurable disease has invaded your life, refuse to let it touch your spirit. Your body can be severely afflicted and you may have a great struggle. But if you keep trusting God's love, your spirit will remain strong. Why must You bear this pain? I cannot tell, I only know my Lord does all things well, and so I trust in God my all in all. For He will bring me through what ever befalls. Our greatest enemy is not disease but despair.
I suffered for a long time, I was actually suffering before I found out I had cancer. Then I found God and accepted His son Jesus into my heart. Life is different now. I dont have cancer anymore (though its shadow lingers), I pray about everything, and put my heart into everything I do, as everything I do is for Him. I am totally becoming what Pastor Buddy would call a C3 person! I picked up the Bible for the first time since I was a kid just a few short months ago. I started with The Message, then my husband went to NC with me and recieved a copy of The New Believers Bible, so I have been reading that. Does anyone have any tips on putting it all together?
