But when Jesus heard it

He said,

"This illness 

    does not lead to death.

It is for the glory of God,

so that

   the Son of God may be

         glorified through it."

                     John 11. 4

("So that" is the hard part

       we don't understand,

the time of transforming.

God does not just

   bring me through it,

He brings His glory through it).
