Even in death the darkness is ashamed of the SICKNESS that kills. Well I have lived to know that Christ the Lord, Jesus Christ can HEAL but one must live within BELIEVE. You choose to died leaving your children motherless instead of looking towards the healer and grow them according to the Light of God. This is PRIDE for you, when you are PROUD you die in what men give unto you. God doesn't give sickness/diseases men does and it normally comes from the Enemies within the Household. May the step mother those children shall have come with LOVE and FORGIVENESS. Hugs
Godly WISDOM is to Fear God. His UNDERSTANDING is to resist the devil.
