God spoke so I wrote. I am truly grateful for God sparing my sons life but why did he have to take my friends son so early. She was there praying for my son and then I found myself praying for hers. My heart aches for her. I never truly understood why, then late last night God spoke to me. I then began to journey into the Bible all while he gave me the knowledge to understand and so I will share with you. How many times has one said to you, just believe and have faith. I do but needed better understanding. I know there were different circumstances between their two lives, one diagnosed with cancer and the other, an accident. Life can be tough, filled with suffering and illness that leaves many asking, "Why doesn’t God heal everyone?" This question strikes a chord for those in pain, urging us to consider the deeper significance of our struggles. It invites a conversation about purpose, free will, and the strength of our faith.
While God's decisions may seem unclear, they often guide us to a more profound understanding of Him. God gives us the precious gift of free will, allowing us to navigate choices between good and evil. By embracing this divine purpose, we can cultivate a closer relationship with Him, especially during hard times.
Exploring the paths of faith and free will
The Divine Balance of Healing and Purpose
One fundamental reason God might not heal everyone centers on our need for Him. If every prayer for healing were answered right away, many might lose the motivation to seek Him and if he healed everybody what would his purpose be? He wouldn't have a purpose. God can also use you to draw others closer to him as well. No matter if you are here or in Heaven, you have a purpose and he is everywhere, he is always with us no matter where we are. According to a survey by Barna Group, only about 10% of Americans pray regularly for healing. This suggests a tendency to seek God less when immediate answers occur.
God is not indifferent to our suffering; in fact, He invites us to lean on Him through tough times. Many people discover their true strength through adversity. For instance, patients battling cancer often report a surge of faith and community support that they might not have experienced otherwise.
Rather than merely reducing pain, God offers love and guidance even in our suffering. Amid challenges, we can learn to find gratitude for the support and inner strength revealed in difficulties.

The Gift of Free Will and the Path to Healing
Free will is a precious gift. It empowers us to choose between right and wrong, fundamentally shaping our faith journey. God never forces His love upon us; instead, He invites us to follow Him willingly.
The existence of sin can lead to suffering, creating challenges in our lives. For example, research shows that 80% of mental health issues stem from biological, environmental, and personal choices. These challenges often prompt us to reassess our paths, revealing the way back to God. We all sin and Gods vision on sin is that all sin is bad, he doesn't judge on smaller or bigger sins but sees it as all sin and this keeps us separated from God and the Saten is out to pull you right in and control you even more so.
Prayer plays a significant role in our connection with God. When we reach out sincerely, we align ourselves with His divine purpose. A recent study found that individuals who pray regularly report a 30% increase in feelings of hope and connection.

Choosing Righteousness Amid Challenges
The journey of faith can feel overwhelming, especially when hardships arise. Many people facing illness continue to pray, showing their unwavering trust in God's promises. Each prayer session becomes a declaration of faith, reinforcing their hope in God's ultimate plan.
Life presents countless choices, and each one leads to specific consequences. Adopting a path of righteousness often rewards us, while poor choices can bring hardship. However, these experiences teach valuable lessons about God's love and mercy.
When we engage actively in prayer and faith, we open ourselves to God's healing and blessings. Choosing not to pray or to abandon faith may result in missing out on the richness of His grace. The good thing about God is if you get on the wrong path you don't have to turn around and go back to the beginning, you just simply cross over to the right path and stay on it.
God’s Promise of Eternal Life
A fundamental promise of faith in God is eternal life. While our earthly existence is temporary and often filled with challenges, God offers us hope that goes beyond this life. This assurance encourages us to seek divine connection rather than the fleeting comforts of the world.
Finding ourselves torn between worldly desires and God's call is part of the human experience. To pursue Him fully requires us to let go of earthly attachments. Research indicates that individuals who prioritize faith experience 25% higher levels of life satisfaction.
While trials may punctuate our journey, God’s intentions always center on our ultimate well-being. By deepening our faith and pursuing Him, we align ourselves with His perfect plan for our lives.
Reflecting on the Divine Plan
Understanding God's choice not to heal everyone can be a challenging yet enriching experience. It nudges us toward deeper faith and reliance on His guidance. As we face decisions and their consequences, we grow in our understanding of divine love.
By engaging in prayer, we access God's presence and healing. Actively seeking Him aligns our hearts with His will, guiding us toward eternal life.
In moments of struggle, we are reminded to cling to our faith, follow the right path, and keep our eyes on the promise of eternal life. God crafts a unique purpose for each believer, ultimately leading us to a fulfilling relationship with Him.
Let us earnestly seek His presence, trusting in His promises while embodying the principles of love and hope that He instills within us. Through faith, we can find meaning in every trial, drawing closer to God and embracing the eternal future that awaits us. What if someone asked you would it be okay if you died tomorrow? I am sure your answer would be no, it is not okay that I die tomorrow. Why? Because your answer would be that your kids, grandkids, parents, relatives, etc. will need you. Am I right? I am sure I am. Your answer would be that your family or friends would be saddened even if you're on the right path. The thing is we never will know when our time is up on earth. You can choose two paths, the right path or the wrong path. Believe in God and you're on the right path or choose not to believe in God and you're on the worst path with no existence after you die and from there you never get to see your family or friends again. It ends there. So, for the ones who don't believe, you ask how you know, well you know wrongdoing puts you in a whole lot of trouble and the wrong path, while doing right and believing puts you on the right path. Faith is trust and you must trust, but say you don't have trust, what do you have to lose? Well, here is proof from the Bible, all 2,500 prophecies that have already came true, only 500 have yet to be fulfilled and all the artifacts,
Archaeology has made discoveries that confirm the historical accuracy of the Bible. These include over 800 fragmentary documents, including fragments of 190 biblical scrolls, and a complete Isaiah scroll2. These artifacts provide evidence for the Bible's reliability
Does that give you enough proof, besides just telling you to trust in the Lord.
Remember you have free will, but with free will also come consequences. Once your time is up it is too late unless you seek your creator. If you follow the world, the world will not save you, only God can do that. The truth is, I look around and know or know of certain people who do not believe in God. I used to wonder why, and the reason being is that they never knew God from the beginning. They usually grow up never to follow but if you look closely or your wise enough, you will find out why. I knew someone who didn't, and he would lie, cheat, and steal. I now know that he chose the wrong path, not only did he not believe but he couldn't follow the right path and be still following the wrong path at the same time. You simply can't follow good and bad at the same time. The devil has control of him now and for that he lost everything he once had in his life. Don't go down the devil's road because in real life the devil's road is a dead end. The road to God is forever connecting, you may have a sign once in a while, but that sign signals you what to do and you will carry on. I now understand his plan better and why he will not choose to heal everyone. If he doesn't heal you, he will still use, you accordingly to his plan. As long as you follow him and believe in him, he will reunite you all once again as promised. God gives you free will for you to decide. Now is the time to make your decision before it is all too late. Only God knows when our time is up.
