How do I began to say what my heart wants? In tears, my heart just aches for you and your family! Cancer is a word that, even myself thought little of, we hear it, we see it in the media, we can even hear our doctors advise us how to try and avoid it, but NOTHING can prepare you to hear that you are faced with it!!! My father was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Mulitiforme on Aug. 9, 2011, everyday since then has been a roller coaster of emotions and fears for us as a family. I, who am a mother of 3, am dealing with losing my dad and watching life leave him little by little, month by month. I see him fight for energy and fight for a smile and it rips through me. I could not begin to think what I would do if I was forced to watch my child battle through this too.....
This by no means is to offend you, I only wish to help is some insignificant way, the only way I know how…with God’s word the bible. The only healing that can be done with such a tragedy is spiritual. Having a child is like holding your heart outside your body, nothing can compare, nothing can complete you like parenthood. It is the most fulfilling life course a person can make. The pain from seeing your child suffer hurts more than the heart, it destroys a person mentally, physically, emotionally leaves a person stripped and empty, and lost and cold. I am profoundly sorry…it has moved me. It’s hard to believe that a family that I never met has moved and changed me hurt and devastated me. Through the thousands of messages you have read, all the advice and comfort you have received, and all the empathy and sympathy you constantly get nothing can help heal this void in your aching heart like the bible. I hope that through this message you gain strength, encouragement, and peace. at psalm 83:18 we find that God has a name, many people are unaware of this “you whose name is Jehovah..."the bible tells us if you “keep on seeking" you will find (proverbs 2:1-5) the truth about god, and that he loves you and your family and cares deeply for you (1 peter 5:7) furthermore "GOD is LOVE"(1 John 4:8) the bible shows us that God is just and good, our heavenly father is perfect " far be it from the true God to act wickedly" (JOB 34:10-12) why then? Why would such an inspirational innocent child be ripped from a loving family? The bible helps us to see an explanation (1 John 5:19) “the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one" Satan the devil. In a world full of violence, sickness, and misery it only makes sense then that Satan is to blame for our sorrows and pain. (Revelation 12:9) again shows that Satan" is misleading the entire inhabited earth" so the world under his influence is full of hatred, deceit, and cruelty. Through Adam’s sin, we all have been born imperfect which causes cruel things like sickness to befall our loved ones, but God promises us a perfect home free from sickness, pain, and imperfections. at Psalm 37:29 “ the righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it” we pray for God’s kingdom to come in the famous model prayer that Jesus stated at (Matthew 6:9-13) three petitions were raised by Jesus when he instructed his followers to pray: 1. Let your name be sanctified 2. Let your kingdom come 3. Let your will take place as in heaven, also upon earth. These important requests help us to see Jehovah’s purpose for the earth and mankind. Your little baby is not forgotten, or the fight that she fighting Jehovah remembers every tear you have cried and the pain she went through and promises a life full of peace and happiness to come. She will be free of sickness(Isaiah 33:24), she will be able to run with a wolf and cuddle with any animal (Isaiah 11-6-9), and immeasurable peace (Isaiah 2:4). Nothing can take away your pain, but hang in there a lot of people are rooting for you!
