Maybe it's our sins that give God consolation when he finally has to give us cancer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When suffering comes, we yearn for some sign from God, forgetting we have just had one.
We may have to learn to live with cancer rather than die of it. It means a big change in our mindset and how we do research. We haven't quite reached there yet.
We all live with cancer, whether it is present in ourselves or affects someone we love.
We're not curing cancer, people. I wish we were, but we're not. It's entertainment.
I wish I could never spend another second talking about cancer and all it does to everyone it surrounds, but unfortunately, that cannot be because of my life.
I'm not praying for God to save me from cancer. I'm not. God will enlighten me when the time comes. And if I've done the right thing, I will be enlightened. And if I believe, I'll be saved. And that's all he promises me.
This experience has also humbled me by giving me a true understanding of what millions of others face each day in their own fight against cancer.
Why does God endow us with compassion?
How could God allow cancer, poverty, the sheer unfairness of so many lives?
Indeed, there is nothing like suffering to remind us how much we need God. What good news that His purpose and plan for our lives moves in a different direction from ours!
