We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him
(Romans 8:28; NIV).
1. Every breakdown
Is a breakthrough
When I face it, Lord,
With you.
2. Every illness
Is a blessing –
Lord, your saints show
This is true.
3. Every struggle
Is a call
To follow you
Along life’s way –
4. To change and grow,
So I may serve
In all I feel, think, do,
And say.

So much truth in this poem! I have found His blessing in the darkness of a brain tumour and times of severe illness, He can use the worst of circumstances to show His Love.
He can indeed! I’ve got breast cancer. Sending fellow-feeling XXXX
