“The Fellowship of Sufferings” may not be a “club” that people are lining up to join. But it is a Fellowship, that once you join, you are grateful to be in. For in it is where all of life’s best joys are to be found.
One lesson from my cancer is that it is not my worst disease. I’m sin-sick. The worst sickness I’ll ever have has been cured by the best Physician There will ever be.
Fate is blind. God sees all. Fate is heartless, God is love. Fate is impersonal. God is Father. Fate is random. God is wise. Fate has no power. God is almighty. Fate nullifies my will. God enables it. Fate is aimless. God is purposeful, always aiming for our joy in his glory.
This body—so long broken, pained, slowed, weakened and now cancered—will one day breathe in eternity’s air, to then, with heaven-filled lungs, exhale the songs and sounds of everlasting joy!
