Joy in Cancer: Cancer, Go To That Child
A very good friend of mine and my elder, Tom Angstead, sent me this quote from
the letters of Ruth Bryan. She wrote it as she was dying of cancer:
"I have much inward fever, making me restless and uneasy at night, but I
have been led to see this fever as my Father's servant, obeying His
will. God says, 'Fever, go to that child, and work in her frame, and
disturb her rest;' and it comes, but all is in covenant love. He has said
also, 'Cancer, go to that child, and wound
her flesh, and sap her strength;' and it has come, and is doing His work
and His will--but all is love."
"The waters of affliction have risen
higher this month, but, safe in my living Ark, I am unhurt. It is sharp to
flesh and blood, but right to faith. I am not always light and bright in
my feelings; but oh! what blessed security and solidity do I find in my
precious Rock! There I am, come what may! Angels might envy myjoy--joy
in the flood and in the flame. Hallelujah!"
"The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in
whom I find protection. He is my shield, the strength of my salvation, and
my stronghold." Psalm 18:2
