“Maybe There IS A Reason!”

 

Did you ever think that just for a moment some of the stuff you go through is allowed to happen for a reason?  Maybe there is a bigger picture that you just don’t see?  Why would God allow someone to be sick or blind or deaf?  Well let me show you something that is written in the Bible that may just help you out.

 

John 9

1As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

 3"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.

 

The next time you get angry because something has happened to you or you are sick or blind remember this man spent his entire childhood blind and most of his adult life begging on the street corner but what happens next?

 

6Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. 7"Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means Sent). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing. 

 

This man went through his life blind so at that moment there would be a miracle that people would be saved through Jesus Christ.  Maybe in this the end times that we live in God just maybe will use you to make believers out of those who do not believe.  Don’t lose faith in the fact that God can and will heal you, if not here definitely in heaven.  So live your life for Him and Him alone that your healing come quickly and in God speed.

 

John 9
