I think that one of the purposes of illnesses in this world is to learn to pay attention to our bodies. We know we are made in the image of God and that our bodies are temples. These bodies house the Spirit which connects us to God and our Heavenly Father.
So think about it.
If we are having troubles with our physical bodies and we ignore it, how are we going to listen to the Spirit which is in the body. The body can experience physical pain and actually PHYSICALLY speak to you with the feelings. If we can ignore those signs, how will we know what our Spirit, which is just a still small voice, albeit powerful when listened to, is telling us. We don't (usually) feel physical pain when our Spirit is unhealthy.
I can't say that that is the only point to physical pain since I don't believe it to be true. BUT it makes sense that we need to learn to listen to what our physical bodies are saying to us so that we can listen to the more important spiritual body within us.
What is your body telling you?
