Chat: You don’t want to grow as a Christian if this is the price of doing so.
I have good news for you. The Bible does not say, “Desire sickness that you may grow thereby.” It DOES tell you that as a newborn baby, you should desire the sincere milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby (1 Peter 2:2). Babies can get very hungry, and you should likewise be very hungry to take in God’s Word. It is God’s WORD, not sickness, that produces growth in your life. And far from making you miserable, God’s Word is actually health to all your flesh (Proverbs 4:20-22)!
So you can be healed AND grow as a Christian!
