Today I listened to a man give his testimony about being diagnosed with stage four cancer through out his body. He was given only six to eight weeks to live. He faced it with both a traditional and holistic approach to treatment, and now has outlived the prediction and been declared cancer free.
But what he most highlighted as the key to his recovery was simply gratitude.
Here’s what he said: “I used a lot gratitude for going through the suffering that I was going through. If you’re going to be grateful you’ve got to be grateful for all of life. When you’re in gratitude you reach a level of sincerity that is akin with the divine. In pure gratitude where you’re grateful for everything in your life you reach that point of stillness so that it allows you to be able to see that pathway forward. I was using gratitude as kind of an anchor to help me.” — David Bennett
Little wonder the apostle Paul calls us to be “always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Ephesians 5:20)
