I recently heard a powerful story about a 14-year-old boy who died from cancer. At 14. Before he died, he made a profound statement. He wrote, “My biggest fear isn’t dying. My biggest fear is that others will blame God for my death and not believe in Jesus. I don’t want people angry at God or even blaming him. I mean, there is so much more than just this life. Just because He didn’t heal me on earth doesn’t mean He won’t heal me in Heaven.” Wow! That young man trusted in a beautiful truth: God heals.
That’s the Bible’s promise: “Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases” (Psalm 103:2-3). Our God heals. He healed our souls from sin through Jesus’ death and resurrection. He has healed our physical bodies countless times from all sorts of sicknesses. And he’s not done. Even when a final sickness ends our lives on earth, God will heal us perfectly in heaven. At a time of sickness and death, may God give us that young man’s faith: God heals!
