Yesterday was one of those days for me. Finding out my little brother was diagnosed with lupus, an autoimmune disease that will make the rest of his life more difficult and painful, hurts like crazy.
Next week, he turns 25.
l couldn’t help but think is that’s so young to be faced with a chronic illness (well, actually another chronic illness). Perhaps that is unfair of me, but it is the truth.
Yesterday, I fluctuated between “Why?” “This isn’t fair,” and just wanting to cry. I know there are treatments. I also know that God is still in control and He is still good.

Prayers for you and your brother and the rest of the family. I have a relative who has it, and it can be managed – I hope and pray that is the case for your brother.
Pastor Charles Stanley’s sermon online this week may be helpful — very helpful for you. Yes, God is good.
I pray that your brother has put his eternal hope in Jesus Christ, not in this world, not in his health, his youth, etc. For the world is passing away and the lust thereof, but the man who does the will of God lives forever! Amen.
