The unthinkable for these parents. Not one precious child, but both of their children, diagnosed with a rare and deadly form of brain cancer within weeks of each other.
Brain cancer. Pancreatic Cancer. Breast Cancer. CANCER.
It strikes with Fear.
Cold... Paralyzing... Debilitating... A Dread that turns your life into a living Nightmare...
The journalist interviewing the parents asked the mother what she felt when she heard the diagnosis.
It is fear. It can swallow you whole.
As the camera rested on her tear-stained face, you could feel the pain... a visceral struggle for composure.
"It feels like someone broke my heart open and has pulled it out of my body."
Duncan and Nohea Avery have had their whole world turned upside down from this cancer diagnosis.
They know a Fear that a parent should never feel.
But we've learned that Fear follows the words Cancer as sure as the sun sets in the west. If you've been diagnosed or are walking hard along this journey with a loved one, then you will remember that moment when the cancer diagnosis sunk in and the fear clawed through your soul.
Zach Williams must have a window into our world...
With his latest song, he has spun truth... For Fear truly is a Liar...
Fear he is a liar.
He will take y our breath
Stop you in your steps
Fear he is a liar
He will rob your rest
Steal your happiness
Cast your fear in the fire
'Cause fear he is a liar
Let Your fire fall and cast out all my fears
Let Your fire fall Your love is all I feel.
Oh, fear he is a liar.
He will take your breath
Stop you in your steps
Fear he is a liar
He will rob your rest
Steal your happiness
Cast your fear in the fire,
'Cause fear, he is a liar.
Lessons we must learn over and over... let it sink in deep. For Fear is a Liar. And God's Grace the antidote. May our trust always fall on the One whose steadfast Love can cast out every Fear.
Always.
