God is determined to make His name great in my life. He is allowed to use anything He chooses to do that. Right now He is using cancer.
I am just where His providence has, in its inscrutable but all-wise and righteous decision, placed me. It may be a position painful, irksome, trying, but it is right. Oh, yes! it is right."
The older I get the more this old body falls apart. The more I am battered and buffeted on the outside, the more I realize 'they' can't really touch the deeper inside of my relationship with Christ. We really are spirit beings who are temporarily clothed in flesh and bones, but these temporary 'clothes' aren't who we are.
I want to make much of God. I was afraid that this regression would make Him look bad, or that my life was a bad sell job on what a grace-filled life looks like. Ha! His glory shines best in the dark places.
What I now have before me is the opportunity to grab my Savior's hand and say, 'I believe'. Because with 'every breath I breathe, He is saving me'.
