LEARNING.

 Being sick is rarely enjoyable, but it may give you an opportunity to learn some precious new truths, or to re-learn some old ones.

For example, you may have forgotten just how much you depend on God - for everything!

Or perhaps you were starting to take your health and strength for granted.

Or you may have been neglecting your relationships - with family, friends, and God.

Or you may simply not have taken time to think about the purpose of your life. Now you have the opportunity to think. Illness is a time for learning!

 

"In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. There have come so that your faith - being more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may be proven genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed "(1 Peter 1:6).
