| | I have been epileptic since childhood. I cannot count how many times I have prayed for deliverance from this affliction or the number of folks I have had pray for me in this way. Over the last twenty years, I have had periods of frustration, confusion, and anger towards God. "If You love me so much, why won't You heal me?!?"
The long in the short of it is that often the healing we envision is pretty far from the healing God has in store for us. I may still have to walk out the diagnoses of epilepsy in my daily life and keep a good attitude about it. But the emotional, mental and spiritual healing God has been working in me over the last four months is far greater than any physical healing ever could be. Why? Because I am learning what it means to walk through the tribulations of this life and yet overcome as Jesus promised us.
While I wanted the easy street, God saw that it was far more profitable from me to be stretched and tried that I might move closer to being "immovable". Because of Christ's redemptive work, we can be free of all worry, fear, and depression to name a few. But the choice is ours: will we be victims or will be trust Him at His word?
