This month my husband’s aunt Betty died of complications due to liver cancer. By the time she found out she had liver cancer, it was stage 4. We were shocked by how quickly we lost her to cancer. She was also a survivor of polio and breast cancer. She was successful in work life, a kind aunt, and strong woman. We lost her too soon.
I hate cancer. I’ve lost too many people in my family and my husband’s family to this dreadful disease. I am thankful that I know the Lord, that I understand this world is not our final home, and I have hope to see those who died in Christ again, including Aunt Betty.
So in honor of Aunt Betty, I’d love to share verses in the Bible that can give hope. We need more hope Bible verses, don’t we?
