Is life fair?




Earlier today I found out that my mom has cervical cancer. At first I didn't know how to react. Do I cry, Do I get angry, Do I blame something or someone? I just sat there with no real emotion. A few moments later when I called my wife to tell her I started to choke up. I got off of the phone with my wife I really started to cry. This is really hard for my family because my step dad's mom just passed away a few months ago from cancer. I just pray that God will be glorified through this. I pray God will give me an opportunity to share the good news with my parents. I have been arguing with them for 8 years about Christ. I think now I will try it God's way and not my own. God's timing is always perfect. My timing has made me look like a fool for 8 years. The bible says in Romans: we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. This is truly my prayer that God would be lifted up during this and my family would be open to the truth. Life is not fair because we deserve way worse than God allows us to have. Even though we deserve death, God offers us a free gift of eternity with him. Romans 6:23 - for the wages of sin is death, but the free gist of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. I pray for my mom's soul not for the battle with cancer. Just because she is healed from cancer does give her eternity with our Father in heaven. That is why I pray for her soul. God is in complete control of all things and now is the time for me to give my entire life to him, not just when it feels good, or when it is convenient, or when people are watching me, but because he is deserving. His son died for me and I could never pay a price like that for someone else so His love truly is enough. God is faithful all the time.

  1. NICK,
    I just read your blog nd took a moment to pray for you and your mother. I can't imagine what you may be fealing but trust that "THE PEACE OF GOD WHICH PASSES ALL UNDERSATNDING WILL GUARD YOUR HEART AND MIND IN CHRIST JESUS". Your resonse is the right one, that her soul would be saved with the knowledge of Jesus Christ. May God give you the words to speak to you mom and your life continue to be a witness to her.
