PEACE JOURNEY
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6
No suspicion of a cancer diagnosis was in my mind that day—it was just a routine checkup. The shock of the radiologist’s brief clinical explanation caused me to sense a surreal atmosphere. I visualized to-do lists and calendar pages flying through the air like paper airplanes landing directly into the wastebasket. Recovery from shock was gradually realized in a few days when a reservoir of inner peace began to flow.
Most Christ followers remember a moment of belief and acceptance. Two simple verses in the Bible penetrated my heart twenty-eight years prior to my cancer journey when I surrendered my heart and life to Jesus Christ.
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:1-2).
Do you avoid talking about the end of your life on earth? Do you have a continual empty place in your heart and soul? Please know that God’s invitation, through his son, Jesus, is open to you now. You are invited to read our link—about us— which answers many questions about what we believe. Women need women, and we pray for you!
And your own simple prayer, now, may be the first step you need to take today. The choice is yours.
Jesus, I ask you into my heart today to be Lord of my life. I do not know or understand a lot about you, but I want to choose your way, your truth and your offer of eternal life. Please meet me where I am to exchange forgiveness of my sins for your gift of inner peace.
