” RABBI, HIS DISCIPLES ASKED HIM, ‘ WHY WAS THIS MAN BORN BLIND? WAS IT BECAUSE OF HIS OWN SINS OR HIS PARENTS SINS? JESUS ANSWERED, ‘ THIS HAPPENED SO THE POWER OF GOD COULD BE SEEN IN HIM! WE MUST QUICKLY CARRY OUT THE TASKS ASSIGNED US BY THE ONE WHO SENT US.’ ” JOHN 9:2-4
I often hear others ask the question ” why did God allow this sickness or this disease or this death to happen to such a good person? When I hear these questions, I must remember that our God in heaven has given us all a purpose in life. It seems as though we all carry a burden of some kind, whether it be a disease, a deformity, an unhappy childhood, the loss of someone at a very early age or any other burden we may bare. No matter the situation and no matter the result of the burden, our Lord God has given us a task to complete. There is an orderly and complete purpose in everything our God does. We may not think of it or understand the reasoning behind his purpose but that doesn’t matter. What we must do is believe in him. We must live our lives in such a way that others see our faith rise up before all of our sickness, disease, sadness, or whatever the burden, and live our life with confidence and joy in our Lord Jesus. We must allow the power of God to be seen in us. As we believe we begin to receive. Our faith becomes stronger, and our lives are allowed to be used by Christ for his good purpose. We must remember that we were put on this earth for a reason. We must believe our Lord Jesus for the reason. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
