Everyday it seems as if i hear news of disease and sickness. Reports of people needing time off of work to relieve stress. Routine check ups turned into diagnoses of Diabetes, or warriors of God being struck with strokes, heart attacks, and news of cancer. The news seems to leave families and loved ones stunned. Instantly my mind asks, "Lord what is going on?!? Bad news after Bad news, how can i rejoice when family and friends are hurting." The i can't help but wonder...What illness is coming for me?
But worrying will never add another day....
There is only one promise to all who walk this earth and that is death. But my story can't be about how i died, but how i overcame my death. My story won't be about how i lived, but how i will live on.
i was outside one day and i saw about five rainbows in the sky. Then i remembered the biblical significance of the rainbow. The rainbow is a sign given from God promising that the world won't be flooded again like with Noah. Seeing those rainbows, i was reminded of another promise given by God. That is He will never leave us nor forsake us, but the purpose of the flood was to rid the Earth of it impurities. As there are seasons of rains, on Earth, there will be seasons of pain in life.
Pain is inevitable, hurt will come, but when my illness comes, i know God will be there and let His Will be done. As high tides of pain flood my world, i know the Sun will shine and God's Promise of a Rainbow will be casted. The bad news that was made to depress me and hang my head, will turn into praises. God thank you for being with me and my loved ones...
Life is short, but we have the choice to live, and live a life more abundantly.
God is Love and He Loves you and so do i
