Healing
The part of us going to heaven is our spirit, soul, or heart.
God DOES heal, but not always the way we expect.
 
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.  1 Peter 2:24
Jesus took our sin so we might be righteous,
Then added that He bore the strips for our healing.
But we don't think of healing the same as God does.
 
If we see a person who cannot walk, we think they need healing.
But then we see them skiing, or playing basketball in a wheelchair,
we realize they have been healed already.
Joni Erickson-Tada with all her struggles has given hope to a lot of people. Seeing that she has endured has given hope. She has also said that God has healed the important part of her. She paints beautiful pictures with her mouth.
 
God sees our body, but the important part is where God lives.
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.  Psalm 147:3
 So often the real sickness or disease is that in our mind.
Our attitude.  Our thinking of how it should be.
If it does not match what we think, we say it isn't so.
 
So what do we do with what we have?
Do we complain that it's not what we expect?
