What would you do?

What would you do if your doctor told you that you only have 2 more months to live?
What would you do if your doctor told you that success rate for operation is < 30%?
What would you do??

Have you ever ponder what would you do if you are in such situation?

After going in and out of hospital umpteen times and later you were told that you only have 2 more months to live and even for operation, success rate is < 30% will you have the will to continue living? Or will you choose to end your life then?

I shall call him Mr A here.

Mr A was scheduled for an operation to remove of his cancerous cells. If he did not do so, he will only have 2 more months to live. Success rate for operation is < 30%. On that very day, he seek permission from the doctor for him to go back and settle his domestic things. Soon after, he was found lying down at his void deck. Dead. What if Mr A was push into the operation theater, would he be one of the <30% fortunate survivor?

That was how illnesses broke up families. Why is there incurable illness in the world? Why can't most people die naturally? Why can't most people die at old age? Why must it always be "Oh, so and so suffered from this illness. Few months later = dead"

I have also heard of people who was at their death bed, accepted Christ and pass away peacefully.
I have also heard of people who got brain tumor, accepted Christ and is happily married now. The brain tumor is under control and amazingly, with God's healing hand, the tumor shrink. Even doctor finds it a miracle.
What would Mr A be now if there were Christian who preach to him at the point of time? What would happen to Mr A now if he was touched by God's word and decided to receive Christ? Will he be saved?

I don't know. Its just a thought.

Diseases are evolving everyday, every minute, every second. We won't know what will be found few years down the road? Just like the major SARS for example, who knows this UNKNOWN virus took away so many innocent lives? No one know about such disease at all. I always feels that Saturn is having a party somewhere to celebrate whenever new virus(es) is/are born.

Old testament stated that our forefather live for few hundreds years before they pass away. Why don't we enjoy such benefits as our forefather?
Is it because that we are often pursuing materialistic things. Inventing weapons to harm other (end up harming yourself). Stress up with study and work. Stress up with all sort of things that happen surrounding you. Getting "radiated" by all the radiation that is being emitted by handphone/microwave/etc (daily electronic items). Are all these the reasons? I'm not sure but they does contribute in one way or another.

So what would you choose? To continue battle against the cancer or to end your life yourself or to seek healing power from God?

Its all your choice.

May the peace be with you always.
