“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” – III John 2.
What kind of father do we have? What kind of God is he? Sometimes believers hold an extra-biblical view of God. A view of God that is nothing more than the witty intervention of an active imagination. That’s why they often end up frustrated in their lives.
‘God is love responding to faith’. That’s who God is. When we walk by faith, we experience his love. Now, if love were to have a wish, what do you think will be Love’s highest wish for the loved? The answer is in III John 2.
We don’t have to climb the mountains or sail the seas to discover Love’s highest wish for us. Love’s highest wish is for us to PROSPER and BE IN HEALTH even as our soul prospers.
Some Christians seem not to be clear as to whether it is the will of God for them to enjoy a life of absolute health. Not only is it the will of God, it is his highest wish.
God loves you. God believes in you and God wants the best for you. God doesn’t inflict his children with sickness or ‘bless’ them with disease. No! He heals all their sicknesses and takes away their diseases because his highest wish for them is that they PROSPER and BE IN HEALTH.
