Cancer Cannot …

During a recent brush with cancer, someone sent me the following quote:

What Cancer Cannot Do

Cancer is limited,

It cannot cripple love,

It cannot shatter hope,

It cannot corrode faith,

It cannot destroy peace,

It cannot kill friendship,

It cannot suppress memories,

It cannot silence courage,

It cannot invade the soul,

It cannot steal eternal life,

It cannot conquer the spirit.

-Author Unknown

This brought to mind the words of Artaxerxes when writing to encourage Ezra, “Perfect peace, and at such a time” (Ezra 7:12). What a wonderful thing it is to have perfect peace and confidence, even in times of sickness or facing real trail. We have so much in Christ that can never be taken away or lost!
