I stand healed—365 days cancer-free! I can’t help but lift my hands in praise and thank the Lord for His mercy, His healing, and His faithfulness through it all.

In Joshua 4, after God miraculously parted the Jordan River for the Israelites, He commanded them to take twelve stones from the river and build a memorial. “These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever” (Joshua 4:7). Why? Because God wanted them to remember what He had done for them. To never forget His power, His deliverance, and His goodness.

Like those stones, my scars are a memorial. They tell a story—not of pain, but of victory. They remind me of the battle I fought, but more importantly, they remind me of the God who fought for me. At times, it has been hard to look at them, to see the marks left behind. But then I remember Jesus. When He appeared to His disciples after the resurrection, He still had the scars in His hands (John 20:27). Those scars weren’t a sign of defeat; they were proof of His sacrifice and triumph over death.

My scars are not signs of brokenness—they are reminders that I am alive. That I am healed. That God is still a miracle-working God.

So today, I build my memorial in gratitude. I choose to remember. I choose to testify. I choose to give God all the glory.

If you are facing a battle today, know this: God is with you. The scars you carry—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—are not signs of loss but of His power to bring you through.
I am 365 days cancer-free. But more than that, I am 365 days deeper in my faith. 365 days more in love with the God who heals. 365 days of knowing that if He did it before, He can do it again.

Thank You, Jesus, for my healing. Thank You for my scars. Thank You for the reminder that You are always faithful.
