Yes, Reeva, this is a good one.  It seems to me that we tend to focus on 
what God's will is in this life when we say, either that, God always wants 
to heal in this life, or sometimes He will and sometimes He won't.  I like 
to put more emphasis on our eternal life in Christ, where, as the author 
pointed out, His Word says that He will wipe away all tears, and that any 
discomforts will no longer exist, rather than just say, or well, we just 
have to live with this pain.  If I were to break both legs, and the doctor 
says I'll be in a wheelchair for 6 to 8 months, I probably wouldn't be 
devastated, because this problem won't last forever.  But if I hear that 
I'll never be able to walk again, or that I was born that way, then I would 
tend to be devastated unless I keep the eternal perspective in mind.  I 
would say that The Lord has already given me some of that insight.
