When
will you leave us alone? We are tired of your wreaking havoc in people’s lives.
No one wants to hear your name. In this week alone, we have heard of two bad
reports and an alert about you and your presence.
You have
brought yourself into the lives of a family of a ten-year-old girl. She is a
very sweet child who already had special medical needs. Did you absent yourself
after she received surgical help to remove your presence? Oh no! You had to be
a rare and aggressive type.
On Wednesday night, we heard of a
lady who has already dealt with you last year underwent biopsies of her skin to
check whether you have chosen to invade her physique again.
Less
than a half-hour ago, I received a prayer call from church. The granddaughter
of one of our women recently had a brain tumor removed. This was not her first
bout with you. The message today is this 30-year-old granddaughter has maybe a
month left on this earth.
Each
time we hear of brain tumors, we think of our lady who passed away two months
ago and left behind her husband and two children, her parents, four sisters and
one brother and their families, and a church family. She left us 25 days after
she was diagnosed—way too soon.
While
you think you have the upper hand in all of this, you don’t. God is in control.
Those of us who hear of your disrupting someone’s life will pray for that
person and his or her family.
Don’t
you see? We love these people and their families. God loves them and will watch
over them all. We pray that God will guide the patients and the caregivers
through each day and give them adequate rest while they sleep.
While
you think you have the last say in each of the lives you touch, God is the one
whose word is final.
