I could talk for hours about why I believe my son will be healed - but it boils down to this piece of scripture.
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. (NIV)
and my favorite version (NLT)...
Faith is the confidence of what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance of things we cannot see.
I don't know when we will see Jet fully healed. I wish I did, but I don't. My hearts desire is to see my son blossom and to hear his sweet voice. God's word says that if we delight ourselves in the Lord, that He will give us the desires of heart (Psalm 37:4). And you what, I believe His word is the truth and I know that my God will not disappoint.
In all honesty - it is difficult to believe that our son will be healed. But His word says that it has already happened (Isaiah 53:5 - But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed) and even though we can not see it with our eyes - one day we will. One day I will hear Jet's voice. One day, things will not be as challenging as they are for him right now. One day to the amazement of all us - his body will be whole.
I don't believe that Jet's "current condition" is God's perfect will. We live in a fallen world and crap happens. Satan came to kill, steal and destroy. Jesus came to give us life in abundance. However, because our God is so good and because He loves us so much - to all of evil's dismay - He will use Jet's chromosome duplication and cerebral palsy to show all of us that He is still a God that Heals!!!
Can I hear an Amen!!!???

Lela
