Asked for Healing Given Grace

"Times of sickness come to everyone. Ordinarily, healing sooner or later follows, and the thankful Christian will offer praise to God. But if stricken with an 'incurable disease,' what then? When believers' petitions for special healing do not avail: What might God's purpose be? Is there gain from pain? Can a loving God make illness a channel of blessing? Mrs. James, who suffers with Parkinson's disease, has sought to discover God's plan, purpose, perspective, and passion in the matters. Her testimony: His grace is guaranteed."
