why some get sickness

 

     John 9:3) Jesus answer, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

 

     A lot of people think when someone get a sickness, that they must have done something wrong. But I am here to let you know that that that it is not always true, as we read in John 9:3, that it can be a tool for God. We can use it to bring other closer to God. It is how we deal with it as a Christian. We all can say how great Jesus is when all thing are going good in our life, but what happens when something hit us hard. What is the first thing you do? It should be to go to Jesus in prayer to ask for Hos help. It is what people see us do that truly show our faith in God. Job was a great person to look at to get a picture of what we should do or not do. God is putting us through this sickness to glorified Him. God is counting on you to lead other people to him, God is making you stronger to, not all sickness is bad, it will show us, and other just how much faith we really do have.

 

     John 11:4) When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

 

     Here is another verse that show that God uses sickness to bring other non believers and also to show other believer that are weak in the Holy Spirit to grow. We all must keep growing in the Lord Jesus Christ, so that other can see that. Through Jesus Christ we can take anything, and that we really believer what we tell them. If it were us that is sick or a love one, other people are watching us to see our actions. It is so easy to talk about how we would or should act and believe, but it is totally different to show them.

     Many people want to know what they did or what our love one did to have this done to them. It could be that you or them did nothing. But God is using this sickness to His glory. It is hard to go through an illness, but we must believe in God and want what God wants. As Paul said, Let God be the glory for it. As Christians we have to live it day in and day out. Sure we are going to have bad days. But we have a forgiving God. Jesus is always with us or is he carrying through the trouble time. We can not always understand what we are going through. We must believe that Jesus is always with us and it is to glorified Him in some way. It is hard to see the bright side of the sickness as we are in it, but when we make it through we are stronger for it.

     We must stay strong, and lean on Jesus Christ, only through Jesus can we get stronger and make a true different for Him. I know it hard now, but we have to be thankful for the sickness we have. For through it God is leading other to him or making another Christian stronger. So I thank God for all my health problems. Even though there are days I wish he would take it all from me. But in the long run I know deep in side, God is King of kings, Lord of lords. All praise go to God.
