God's goal is worship.
So Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead.
It produced worship.
But for those He saves, now in this age,
worship is produced more by trial than by healing.
It is not that He cannot heal,
nor that often He will not heal.
But in our hearts so enraptured by His good gifts,
it is the difficulties that bring us back to Him.
It is sickness and death and affliction
that He uses to produce worship in us,
to make us see and treasure Him,
to give us real Joy. In Him.
