( Jesus says many times - take up your cross and follow me. ) God allows it to continue because that is part of the plan. Some plans include healing, some plans include sickness (sort of as part of our job down here). The blind man Jesus healed was blind in anticipation of Jesus' eventual healing. If someone came a few years earlier and he was healed, it would have blown the demo for Jesus. If Job never had been sick, he wouldn't have come to personally know God. Hope this helps. Anne
