Your Question:
Why did I have to lose my limb?
Answer:
I'm not sure what you're asking about losing a limb. However, I can try to provide some insight. As a pastor, I've had conversations with people who have experienced amputations or other physical losses. Sometimes, people struggle with questions about why God allowed them to experience such pain or loss. One way to think about this is to consider the concept of free will. As humans, we have the ability to make choices, even if those choices lead to negative consequences. In the case of a person who loses a limb, it's possible that their decision to engage in an activity that led to the injury was a choice they made with their free will. This doesn't mean that God is punishing them, but rather that God is allowing them to experience the natural consequences of their actions. In the Bible, there are examples of people who have experienced physical loss or disability, but who have still been able to experience God's presence and purpose in their lives. For example, the apostle Paul, who had a physical disability, wrote about the ways in which God used him to spread the gospel and build up the church. This can be a source of hope and encouragement for people who are struggling with physical loss or disability.
