Someone shared this with me after my diagnosis. I have carried it with me ever since, so I can read through it when I need some encouragement. Take a few minutes to ponder on what it really says. It's given me great peace as I've walked this journey.

"There is nothing--no circumstance, no trouble, no testing--that can ever touch me until, first of all it has gone past God and past Christ, right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no trial will ever disarm me, no circumstance will cause me to fret--for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is--That is the rest of victory! -Alan Redpath
