SICKNESS and disease have journeyed with mankind throughout history. Every civilization has attempted to alleviate or erase human suffering. But the successes have been limited. The Creator Jehovah God is not responsible for sickness because he gave mankind free will to choose how to live a less destructive life
Everyone is at least acquainted with some persons who suffer, if he himself does not do so. Men still ask, Will sickness and disease ever end?
The answer is that the removal of sickness is tied in with God’s other purposes is the removal of Satan the Devil, the judging of mankind, the salvation of those found faithful and the providing of a satisfactory government for this world. These purposes will all be accomplished by means of God’s kingdom through Christ. (Matt. 6:10) Such grand purposes need time to be worked out.—2 Pet. 3:5-13.

Especially articles like the one below does much to keep sufferers and their family members from becoming overly depressed. Why not read it for yourself, as well as the many other articles that show suffering will not always be a permanent factor in our lives.
