​23. It’s His Doings: Accept What God Allows

“And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.” (1 Corinthians 12:28)
 

• Jr., my baby brother, healed of sickle cell anemia. He now resides in heaven!
• Bumper, my nephew, healed of muscular dystrophy. He now resides in heaven!
• S. Foster, my mom, healed of ovarian cancer. She now resides in heaven!
• A. Hall, my sister-in-law, healed of pancreatic cancer. She now resides in heaven!
• R. Ward, my mother-in-law, healed of numerous health problems. She now resides in heaven!
• The list continues...

 
Healing occurs in many ways. (Doctors are mere instruments of God.) So thankful He knows what is best for everyone.

Knowing God has a purpose for joyful times as well as painful ones, we must learn to accept what He allows in our lives. During both times, God is with us. And, He knows and feels our pain. Remember, Jesus wept? (John 11:35). On a side note, who can worship a god who doesn’t know anything about or feel pain?

On Friday, 3/24, Len’s stitches were removed. I watched the entire process. It looked painful. Now, 24 hours later, the incision area looks good. Len says his head feels better; it’s not as tight in that area causing additional pain. I am so thankful the Lord knows all about his pain and that some additional relief has come!

The journey to healing continues.
