I was diagnosed with arthritis at the age of 6, not a mild one buta severe one called rheumatoid Arthritis, which is very rare, and there is a very low chance that I will grow out of it. I always thought that maybe God hated me or was mad at me because why else would he have done this to me.
I grew up in a christian family, I always beleived in God but I always had this thing saying to me, that if he really loved me why did this happen to me? One day my dad said to me (Im not sure if he remembers but I do) he said that if I didnt have Arthritis would my life be the same? Would I have the friends I have now? (which are GREAT) We left our country because of my arthritis, my doctor warned me if I stayed in this climate (which is very cold) my arthritis could get serious.So maybe we would still be in the other country, would I have met all the great people I know today?
The advice my dad gave me really changed my views on things, thats my story thought I should get it out, maybe someone else is going through what I went through so im sharing my advice.
Has anyone else ever received such life changing advice? If yes from who? And how has it benefited you?
