CANCER

It's been such a long time since I have had the time and/or the energy to blog.  I can hardly remember what life was like  before having Kindle Elisabeth!  Anywho, I have something flaming on the inside of me that has to get out.

The other night, I walked outside on my patio to watch a lightning storm.  It was so beautiful!  While I was outside, God began breaking me for each of the women that I have come across that have cancer.  These precious women have been reached through the ministry that I am involved with called The White Rose Movement. If you aren't a fan of their page on facebook, I highly recommend it.

Anyways, God began putting these courageous women on my heart.  As I began praying against this devastating disease, God began to show me that there is a cancer that is more widespread and even deadlier than the kind these women are facing.  I have neighbors and loved ones that have this cancer in their spirit.  There is a disease spreading with each passing moment and most people who have it are not even aware or diagnosed.  This type of cancer is WILLFUL separation from God.  Willful separation spreads through the soul and devours a person from the inside out....eternally.

After God began to show me His view of this, my burden for these women was a little lighter as God has become their Savior.  What can man or disease do to a soul that will have an eternal reward with Jesus.  Don't get me wrong,  I am not underestimating that severity of cancer of the body.

My point is that I walked outside to find a burden for these ladies battling a disease of the body.  I walked inside with a burden for countless people being consumed by a disease of the soul.  The true tragedy here is that there is a cure for the second condition.  His name is Jesus and He is passionately awaiting them as His touch can make them whole.  If God can save a soul through His son, isn't that the greatest healing of all?...Then why do I find myself so faithLESS sometimes when it comes to  healing for those battling an illness? 

I still pray for these beautiful women as they face the battle of their earthly lives. They continue to follow Jesus and have such a hopeful outlook on the future. Please pray for them as you feel lead.

Thank you for hearing my heart tonight.
