Bible Question:
Hi, my faith today has to do with my grandma. She has a sickness that makes her memory be effected to the point that she can't remember things. Now I got together with the family tonight, and she was there, and she seemed to be doing great. I mentioned to my granpda that i gave my life to the Lord in fall 2004, and I've underdstood a lot since then in my own ways through him (Jesus). So my faith today, with love of course, has to do with my grandma having the faith and renewing her health and living her life that God has for her yet, and she is like 65 I Think, somewhere around there. Now my grandpa who is having a hard time dealing with her being like this. Okay so I approached my grandma and I told her that I'm aware of her health issues, and I told her also this night I gave my life to the lord and she said to me she believes in the Lord also. I also let her know, and keep in mind I was doing this to help her and maybe get a little more insight into her about the Lord. I let her know that with the Lord anything is possible, and I also said that, believe it is because you believe it is through him. I truly believe that anything that we believe through Jesus, and I think to some extent, meaning what is right, it can be done. That's with the whole love and faith. She told me that thank you for that and I can tell it was emotional for her, and it was a little for me too, but I wanted to let her know that, and I really haven't ever approaced her like this ever in my whole life that I've known her, but I can understand her sickness, but I also know and believe that the Lord can cure her, and let her live her life until she is ready, you know when were saposed to live until were 120 the longest we can live. I believe that in her through Jesus. Now my question comes in. My faith and love in this matter, what do you think about this? |
Bible Answer: NightJay, Thank you for sharing that. Your faith and love are fine. No matter what happens to your Grandmother, don't let that change. God uses illnesses too. My mother was the picture of health, still working outside the home in her late 70's. She had a series of strokes and heart attacks. Her body was useless but her mind still worked. For years she would cry to me, why doesn't God heal me. I could be doing so much for Him. That went on for over 3 years. The last 6 months or so, my mother praised God. Thanked Jesus for saving her, and my 40 year old brother. Who had been far away from God most of his adult life. We both believed that her illness had a direct link to his praying and converting. She was 84 when she died and the last 4 years were in a nursing home. I prayed constantly for God to heal her. God gave her the ultimate healing, which wasn't what I wanted. He has a plan and knows much more than I do. I'm adding you and your grandparents to my prayers. I hope God chooses to clear your Grandmother's mind. I'm glad it was clear enough to understand you. You have made her very happy and you will see her again some day with a new body and mind. God bless you. |
