If you are poor, without, sick or hurting… this is not a sign that God loves you less.
If you are poor, without, sick or hurting… this is not a sign that you have sinned.
If you are poor, without, sick or hurting… this is not a sign that your faith is too weak.
When asked whose fault it was that a man was blind – the man or his parents, Jesus replied, “‘Neither this man nor his parents sinned,’ said Jesus, ‘but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in Him.'”
If you are poor, without, sick or hurting, don’t look to you – neither for the blame or to heal the situation.
If your friend is poor, without, sick or hurting, don’t make assumptions. Don’t look at them – not to blame or for all the answers.
Look to Jesus. The miracle comes only from Him, not from you. As He said, “This happened so that the works of God might be displayed.”
And, He will get all the praise and glory when you are no longer poor, without, sick or hurting.
