Chat: It is a blessing in disguise.

At some point you should read Objection: Sickness Is a Blessing in Disguise.  But meanwhile, we can chat some more.  If sickness is really a blessing, which of the following are you doing?

I am praying that I will get sicker so that I can maximize my blessing.

I am asking God to bless my entire family and circle of friends with the blessing-in-disguise of sickness.

I am abstaining from all medical treatment to ensure that I endure the greatest suffering and thus derive the greatest benefit from the blessing of sickness.

I don’t believe that God wants me any sicker.  He gave me just the right amount of sickness for my benefit because He knows best.  So I am not trying to be in more pain.

After reading these choices, I started thinking that sickness isn’t such a blessing after all.  In fact, I don’t want it!
