HIS FACE IN MY JOURNEY

God's Will for my Life?

"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children,
​you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."   Matthew 18:3

​The first time I spoke with my pastor about my diagnosis, I told him that I was concerned
about God's will for my life.  He quickly and confidently responded, "God's will is for your
children to keep their mother."  I remember thinking to myself, "Okay... that sounds really
good."   Like a little child who had just been re-directed by her loving father, I eagerly received
my pastor's words and rested on the goodness of God.  And I have never looked back.


Why was it easy for me to accept in a single moment a theology that I had wrestled with for years? 
Because in that moment, I became like a little child (
Mark 10:15; Luke 18:17).   I did what Jesus said
to do, I recognized my helplessness and clung to my Father.  I welcomed His words and believed
them as truth without - for once in my life - wondering or questioning or doubting.  


Since that time, I have been in the process of studying the formidable problem of suffering and the question of God's will. My study is confirming and solidifying the faith that I received that day during the brief conversation with my pastor.  Our heavenly Father has spoken to us through His Son (Hebrews 1:1), and His
 heart is revealed in Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:15, 19).   Jesus healed people, He didn't make them sick.    Canceris not from God.
