Whenever we think of a disabled person, we think of somebody that is weak and or dependent on someone else. Like a blind person who depends on somebody to guide him, or a crippled person that depends on somebody to take him to places or to walk him.

A person that is mute cannot speak…a deaf person cannot hear, etc. But the real disabled person is not the one who has health issues or physical defects. But the real disabled ones are those that have eyes and they can see but do not have vision. They have ears and they can hear, but can not hear the Voice of God. They have legs and can walk but do not turn to God. They can speak but do not pray to God.

These are the real disabled ones. They do not use their faith to please God, and that is why they can speak but are mute, they can hear, but are deaf, they can walk, but are disabled. Your strength, attitude, and actions show who you are. Even if you are reading this message and you are physically disabled you can be spiritually free and active and can be very blessed. Just because your body might be disabled or have a deformation, does not mean that your spirit has to be weak.

But if your faith is healthy my friend, you can move mountains. Regardless of disabilities, education level or anything else. Show yourself as a strong person. Do not be spiritually disabled.

May the God of the Bible Bless all of you.
