Sometimes you can be touched by God, but not healed. Often when this happens, he is using your pain for a greater purpose.

Shannon L. Alder
About This Quote

When you are touched by God, he sometimes touches you so deeply that you cannot rise. However, there are many times when people are healed by their pain, even though they cannot see the purpose. Often the purpose is to reach out to someone who is suffering in the same way that the person who is healed is suffering. The act of praying for someone who is suffering can bring that person great relief. The idea here is that God uses pain to bring healing to others.
