Faith Foundation #2 - God is healer
God has the power to heal and restore.
God has the power to heal. He can instantly take away any sickness, disease, or condition. That means, He could rewire Jude’s genetics and take away her intellectual disability - instantly. So much of my spiritual life is spent walking this line: I believe God can heal Jude, but He hasn’t. On my worst days, Jude’s diagnosis leads me to question God and His motives. On my best days, it leads me to surrender and fully trust Him - knowing His ways are higher than mine, and they exist outside my human emotions and comfort. Most days I land somewhere in between.
