Yesterday my dad showed me Mark 16:14-20.In that passage, Jesus talks about how faith heals a person. That whoever believes (and is baptized) is saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
And signs will accompany the believers' faith: in His name, believers will drive out demons. Believers will not be affected by deadly poison.
Then my dad paralleled the "deadly poison" mentioned in verse 18 with chemotherapy. I've never really thought about how chemotherapy works or what it is exactly. So I went on to Wikipedia and "researched" chemotherapy.
It turns out that chemotherapy was first used in World War I during chemical warfare. This means that the elements used in World War I's chemical warfare was used inside my body! The realization made me feel sick to my stomach, but grateful at the same time. Taking life for granted has never occurred to me to be one of my flaws, but now I see that each day, undoubtedly, is a gift from God.
Jesus goes on to say, "they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." This to me is confirmation that I will get through this!
