The perishable must clothe itself with the
imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
—1 Corinthians 15:53
Cancro. Krebs. Kanker. Cancer!
In any language, the word triggers panic.
If you or someone dear to you is combating a life-threatening affliction, the following words, written by one who was losing a physical battle but winning a spiritual war, may give you courage.
Cancer is so limited . . .
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot eat away peace
It cannot destroy confidence
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot shut out memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot reduce eternal life
It cannot quench the Spirit
It cannot lessen the power of the resurrection.
You’re a hero because you’ve looked
fear in the face without blinking.
