Your Faith has made you HEALED

Over the last few years I have been battling Rheumatoid Arthritis. For those of you who dont know what that is...1. it is not only for old people (which is what i used to think). 2. it is an Autoimmune disease where basically for some reason unknown to me your body decides to attack itself. 3. it makes your joints swell up and makes some days impossible to bend...there are horrendous pictures if you want to google. 4. it makes your body feel like crap. 5. once you have it...there is no cure...that we know of. Basically it sucks.

There is a passage in scripture where A blind man cries out to Jesus and says he wants to see him. Jesus replies, "“Go... your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. I know miracles happen, because I have heard about them from people I know. But I've always wondered...could it happen to me? Do I just have to believe enough? That sounds silly...God can do whatever he pleases. He is the God of the universe. He doesn't have to prove himself to me in order to be real. But I wonder if this is what other people with other diseases...like cancer or well whatever else, think about. Do they ever wonder if a miracle could happen to them? Does it make a difference if you believe more than another person? Or are we not "healed" physically so that we can be healed spiritually? Does he not makes us all better because that is not where our lives lead?

I know my king sits on a throne in heaven, yet loves the people he created. Its just been something I have been thinking about. I'm sick of the lame answers... the churchy, happy ones. I think everyone knows those. It's so easy to have all the answers when your body is healthy, or you have enough money to buy groceries, or the right guy or girl likes you. Its when the goin gets rough when you don't have any answers that this all counts.

For those of you who are going through a hard patch and there is no light at the end of the tunnel right now, I can sympathize with you. I know what that looks like. I certainly dont have all the answers, and even though I believe in something greater than me, I still ask questions. I am still wanting to figure all this out. One day I will know, but for now I have to be patient and I think for most that is the hardest part. Or for those like me.

For now..waiting patiently.
