Re: Bye ya'll!

"Are you saying that God gave you your illness and it has purpose? If your illness has a God intended purpose....why are you trying to heal with natural means? Doesn't that sound like you are going against God's will, if that is a true statement?"

This is a very common argument, but has no merit. No one understands all God is doing. I don't understand all God's purpose in this illness. I can already say part of it is for me to learn compassion so I could be a comfort to others, with genuine understanding, that have this illness. I've already seen that purpose played out for a long time. And there are many other purposes that I can already clearly see, but the whole purpose and understanding of it, I don't know. We know God already has a day picked out for us all to die. That doesn't mean we don't fight death. I have a friend that has been a good support to me through this illness. She too was very ill. We have talked often about our struggles, and we put our heads together and tried different things. We fought this illness together. She has been healed now of most of her illness. Can that not happen to me? Yes, I believe it can. I have been healed in some ways already. But everyday that I still struggle with these problems, I will know God still has a purpose in them. Tomorrow I may be healed. Or maybe I won't. Maybe I will continue to struggle for the rest of my life with these problems, or maybe I won't. I know it's part of God's purpose for me to fight this naturally. So I fight it. That's not going against His purpose. It's part of it.

I'm not blaming God for my sickness at all, but embracing that He has a purpose in it. There is a big difference.
