cancer

I am a kid. I have no family. I was abandoned by my mother when I was three. She left me at a hospital. They later found out that I have leukemia. I have lived in this hospital for 5 years. I get picked on a lot because I don't have a mom or a dad. One of the older kids said God doesn't want to waste a dad on me because I will die. I don't understand why I don't deserve a dad too. Other kids here are dying and they all have dads. Why can't I? I want a dad too. I read in my bible that God loves everyone especially children but then why do we have to die? I have never told a lie or stolen anything. I have been good my whole life. I had just started getting a little better than on my first day outside of the hospital I got pig flu. Now I am going to die faster because my body can't fight the flu. I don't understand what I did that was so wrong that I have to die. Please I don't understand. Please tell me what I did.

I do not have the answers to your "why" questions. But I know that God offers forgiveness and eternal life to those who repent of their sins and entrust themselves to Christ as Savior.

Asnd those who do trust Him as Savior after this life spend eternity with Him where there is no death, pain and sorrow.

I urge you to read this.

I will pray for you. I am sorry for all you have endured.

My best friend died in January. He had leukemia too. He was ten. If he wasn't a christian did he still go to heaven? He didn't have any family either except me. We were brothers not by blood but still brothers. He visits me in my dreams and when i get really sick. Does God know it wasn't his fault he wasn't a christian? He didn't know about God I didn't either until he died. I miss him a lot. Is there really no pain in heaven? What happens if you die when you are really little? Do you still go to heaven? Will I get to see my friend when i die? can we play football like we use to?

Before we discuss your friend, did you read the link I gave you and if so what is your response?

I don't really understand it all. It sounds too easy. If my punishment was suppose to be hell and all I have to do is believe that I dont have to go to hell because someone else already took my punishment? Then all I have to do is believe and pray? Hell is a bad place I don't really get how it is so easy. If it is really that easy than why isnt everyone going to heaven?

When I get into trouble for something the nurses take my computer away for a day someone can't just say "here take mine instead" and I get to keep it.

Am I missing something because I am normally pretty smart

It is so simple even a child can understand, but the proud resist. It requires us admitting our need and turning to Jesus and many are unwilling to do that. They want some credit rather than attributing all to Jesus.

How about you?

Okay so heaven is this really cool place God made but he made rules and if you break the rules you can't get in but then everybody broke the rules because all humans sin so nobody could get into heaven but God couldn't just start letting people in because he already said that if you break the rules you can't get in and if would of let people in he would be breaking the rules so since the rule is if you break the rules you have die spiritually so God sent Jesus who had nevered sinned to earth so he could die so that we wouldn't have to because he took our sin away so now all we have to do is tell God that we believe that this happened even though that only proof we have is the bible and we have to say thank you because any time some does something for you you have to say thank you

Did I get it right? Just trying to make sure I understand it

Well said.

How do I know I really believe it I think I do but I don't want to lie to God by telling him I believe when I dont know for sure

What about my friend?

Please I am really sick and I won't make it much longer my body can't fight the flu
