Immunity, what is immunity?
Immunity is the balanced state of having adequate biological defenses to
fight infection, disease, or other unwanted biological invasion, while having
adequate tolerance to avoid inflammation, allergy, and autoimmune disease (and
no I didn’t write that I found that definition on Wikipedia). We may be immune to certain things in life,
but something’s we are not immune to.
One of Laurens friends, 24 years old, was diagnosed with
breast cancer. Cancer is one of those
things that we are NOT immune to, however Jessica has chosen to use serving
others through love to enable her to build back her immune system. Yes
her body has been affected by cancer, but it will not destroy her. Serving
and loving others is her antidote to help her move through her days accompanied
with the nasty cancer germs. Her blog is
filled with how she is building up her immunity to cancer through recipes and
sharing experiences. (servewlove.wordpress.com)
The scripture that Jessica presses forward through this
journey is Galatians 5:13-14 (NIV13 you,
my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to
indulge the flesh [a]; rather, serve one
another humbly in love. 14 For
the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as
yourself.”[b])
When we contract a disease we can’t lose sight of our
strength, our strength found through loving and serving others. Let the Holy Spirit give you the immunity you
need to love, even when loving is difficult. Through loving and serving we can press
forward through any situation that ventures into our life, even if it is a
dreaded disease that fills our days with medications and sickness.
Love and serve others; love yourself and love life that is
what God wants us to do. As we love we
build up our immunity. We may not build
our immunity to cancer, but we build up our immunity to not let cancer destroy
our life. LIVE & LOVE!
Love you Jess, praying for you daily! TTF
