If I survive*
I will indeed
Look upon this time**
And thank God
For doing a work in me
And seeing it to the end,***
As I enter glory
Or rise from this earthly
heap
To live another day,****
Knowing death's knock
Was but a heartbeat away.*****
*I'm not literally in danger
of
actually dying
**'this time,' meaning any
of
life's trials
***Philippians 1:6
****any aspect of God's working
in me will either be completed
when I die and go to heaven,
or
in the instance of my surviving
whatever trial and go on
to live
my earthly life
*****'chemotherapy' is a
race to
see who dies first, the
cancer or
us... sometimes the cure
is harder
on us than the illness,
sometimes
the pain endured is necessary
for
personal growth
Hebrews 13:5, "[God said]
I will
never leave you or forsake
you." |
