Your Question:
Why did I have to lose my leg?
Answer:
My friend, I can only imagine the struggles you've faced. I'm reminded of the times when Joshua, my 17-year-old son, would come home with scraped knees and bruised elbows from playing sports. It's as if life is full of these little bumps and bruises that test our resolve and faith. As I read through your story, I'm struck by the parallels with my own experiences. I've lost count of the number of times I've had to confront the "whys" of life, especially when it comes to the struggles of others. As a pastor, I've seen my fair share of broken bodies and shattered spirits, and I've had to grapple with the same questions you're asking. Why did God allow this to happen? Why didn't He intervene? The truth is, my friend, that life is full of mysteries and uncertainties. We can't always understand the why behind every situation, but we can trust that God is working everything out for our good, even when it doesn't feel that way. I've found solace in the words of the Psalmist, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18) May you find comfort in those words as well, and may you know that you're not alone in your struggles.
