Cancer, you didn’t win…
10 months since you infiltrated my life.
10 months since my world stopped and life changed course.
10 months since you stole precious time away from my son.
You gripped on and refused to let go.
You destroyed what you could while you were here.
You made sure to leave long-term illness behind so I could never forget you.
But the God I serve…
The strength He gave me was bigger than the pain you brought.
The strength He gave me was mightier than the fear you tried to instil in me.
The strength He gave me was wiser than the tricks you tried to pull.
Cancer, you should have killed me, but it wasn’t my time.
So you made sure I felt every last bit of you.
You tried to tamper with my heart and left it in a mess,
But my God is fixing it as we speak.
You tried to take my breath away — literally —
But my God is the air I breathe.
You tried to cripple me,
But I lean on my Father for support as I walk,
And He will never leave me.
You tried to destroy my liver,
But my God is restoring it as we speak.
You couldn’t kill me,
So you tried to hurt me by going after my family,
But my God will prevail.
You are an illegal entity,
And you do not belong here.
By coming after me, you made your biggest mistake.
And now my Protector, my Everything, my Father,
will show you what happens when you mess with one of His children.
Cancer, you tried — I’ll give you that —
But don’t try that nonsense again
Isaiah 43:2 – when you pass through the waters, I WILL BE WITH YOU,
and when you pass through the rivers they will NOT sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames WILL NOT set you ablaze
Cancer, you tried it, but you failed, and my God will not let you try that again.
