But when Jesus heard it,

He said,

"This illness is not unto death;

it is for the glory of God,

so that

the Son of God may be glorified

         by means of it."

   

                       John 11. 4

(There is something 

   much deeper going on here

than what is obvious.

This difficulty you have

is a deeper passage

into His goodness 

and that His hand

     may be revealed,

"so that you may believe."

God knew this.

Now watch 

       what God will do with it, 

what only He can do,

how only He can redeem,

beyond what you can know.)
