Cancer.
every aspect of it is Scary.
the word alone is enough to give you chills.
those commercials make you a little sick inside, those letters you get in the mail, from the hospital you've never heard of still upset you a little. . .
somehow, the word Cancer always sticks out.
i think it's because it's a Scary word.
looking up Cancer in the dictionary, you'd see that Invasion is one of the listed definitions.
Invasion.
no one wants their home Invaded.
no one likes their 'personal space' Invaded.
i think something Invading your body is the ultimate Invasion.
God lets us control a lot of things. what we wear, what we eat, who we talk to, what we do. . .
but when Cancer Invades your body, there isn't much we can do about it.
i think we're so used to being able to control everything that when God puts something in our lives that we can't control, we get Scared.
Cancer is Scary to everyone, but what does Scary even mean? causing fright or alarm.
since we all love to control things, can't we control what frightens or alarms us? why not? why not stand up, face our fears and get rid of whatever is Invading our bodies?
i think it can be done. i think we could do it.
God puts us on this earth for a reason, and it's not to live for and by ourselves. if we're here together, we might as well help each other through our trials.
Cancer.
it's a sickening, awful disease, but not something we have to be Scared of. lets beat it :)
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I with uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
