SOUL-SEARCHING

   Posted by: pastordiehl   in Casting Out Cancer

When I first learned that I had prostate cancer, I had to struggle with some personal emotions. How would this affect my ministry, how would this affect my longevity, but of greatest impact to me, how would this affect my relationship with my wife? Intimacy is the sign of the covenant of marriage and we both take that very seriously.

So I had to do some serious soul-searching, and it led to some very open conversations between Anita and I, actually opening some doors that we had shut long ago. So, already, even before the surgery, God has done some really neat healing and growth in both of us.  Sometimes the best healings are not physical, but spiritual or emotional! Those, only God can do.

What spiritual or emotional healing has God recently done in your life?

I can tell you that most of my elderly friends have gone through all of this and more. They share with me how important caring and family are. Strong relationships grow even stronger. God draws ever nearer. We are reminded often of the eternal aspect of love and our immortality. Fear not, we are in good hands. I am counting on God.

Hey Pastor,

Donnitta and I are and will be praying for your successful surgery and complete recovery. I have no doubt about that considering you have the Ultimate Physician who will be guiding the hands of the human surgeon. We’re looking forward to hearing good reports. Take care and God bless.

Ps. 40:30-31 – Even the youth grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles: they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

HE IS THERE & HE IS FAITHFUL!
