But just when he thought he can finally be at ease following the operation, life throws another obstacle to his way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">[<a href=\"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/2018\/05\/07\/gary-v-now-recovering-from-successful-heart-surgery\/\">READ: Gary V now recovering from successful heart surgery<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;It was May of last year that I was given a life-changing diagnosis of cancer in my right kidney. This was revealed to me as I was still healing from a bypass procedure done last May 6, 2018. A few weeks later on June 13, 2018, I underwent surgery to remove the cancer from my kidney,&#8221; he narrated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The artist shared how God never left him as he faced the storms of his life, battling with type-1, then a bypass, and kidney cancer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;A little over a year later, I&#8217;m still in awe at how God kept me on the palm of Jesus&#8217; hand through it all. You know my friend? There really is no safer place to be&#8230; than His hands,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;I&#8217;m still here and he has been as faithful as ever. Indeed there is absolutely nothing impossible with God,&#8221; he continued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Gary expressed his &#8220;deep, deep gratitude&#8221; to his family, doctors, relatives, friends, various churches, and millions of fans for supporting him and praying for his recovery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;Those prayers have once again been answered,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;God is good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He also said in the caption of the video that &#8220;God bless you in ways that will simply make you see just how good He really is.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; View this post on Instagram &nbsp; Just needed to share this with you all.
