Sharon: Hi Joanne.. Closeness to God is wonderful.. but I want to get much closer yet!! It costs a great deal though.. because we must die to self.. Which is humbling.. because we think we know best and we don't.. and to totally look to God for everything just goes against our flesh.. but to know God more is the greater gift and He will help us with all things.. Love to you..

Sickness doesn't come on us because of our sin... Jesus said that!!

  • Quote of the day: Say the truth and shame the devil. -- Hugh Latimer
  • Counting my Blessings That I am recovering from a recent illness and that our son Conner took such good care of me..
I was watching the "Gospel of John" today.. A dvd movie I own of the book of John word for word.. Amazing film.. I learn so much just watching this film even though I have seen it quite a few times!! Different things stand out each time.. only the inspired Words of God could do that..


One of the parts of the story which stood out to me was about the man born blind.. from John 9..

I will copy it out here then add my comments..

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind ~ John 9 :1-3

As he (Jesus) went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.


Now what stood out to me today.. was that Jesus always tells the truth.. He called Himself the truth.. so I know He does not lie..

The disciples asked Him why the man was born blind.. and was it because of his sin or his parent's sin..

Jesus answered "neither.." Praise God.. and what He says "neither this man nor his parents sinned, that he was born blind?" is quite interesting.. Seeing we know all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.. What it seems to be saying to me is that sin was not the cause of this illness!! That the man's sin and his parents had nothing to do with it..

Now I see that as quite a revelation because I have heard many times said.. that sickness is a direct result of man's sins.. our fault and therefore we must bear it.. We are to blame for being ill.. or for mankind being ill.. so it is not surprising that people are sick and suffering because we keep sinning.. and the reason that when people pray they are not healed..

But Jesus doesn't seem to be saying that here..

He said that it happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.. it was not about our sinful nature.. Praise God.. That gives me such hope to see the healing presence of God touch the masses!!
