God's plan for you.

Their are times in our lives, when we are born differently or born with a birth defect, that we ask why. Why would we be born with a birth defect. We don't always know or understand why we are born with a birth defect. Though God says that the thing being molded will not say to the molder, who is God why did you make me like this. Romans 9:20 20 On the contrary, who are you, ​a​O man, who ​b​answers back to God? ​​The thing molded will not say to the molder, “Why did you make me like this,” will it? Psalms 139:13-17 says 13 For You ​a​formed my ​1​inward parts; You ​​wove me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will give thanks to You, for ​I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.15 My ​​frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the ​depths of the earth; 16 Your ​a​eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in ​​Your book were all written The ​days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them. We as people with disabilities, may not be able to fully understand or comprehend how a loving and caring God, who loves us would create us the way that He did. Because of the disability, we may not even believe that their is a God, or maybe we do but we are so angry with him, because of what we have gone through, that we can't fully understand who God is. Here is an illustration that talks about some great men and women that have had to deal with disability, but still where able to do great things in their life. Overcoming and Achieving

Some of the world’s greatest men and women have been saddled with disabilities and adversities but have managed to overcome them. Cripple him, and you have a Sir Walter Scott. Lock him in a prison cell, and you have a John Bunyan. Bury him in the snows of Valley Forge, and you have a George Washington. Raise him in abject poverty, and you have an Abraham Lincoln.

Burn him So severely in a schoolhouse fire that the doctors say he will never walk again, and you have a Glenn Cunningham, who set a world’s record in 1934 for running a mile in 4 minutes, 6.7 seconds. Deafen a genius composer, and you have a Ludwig van Beethoven. Have him or her born black in a society filled with racial discrimination, and you have a Booker T.

No matter what your thoughts, feelings, or beliefs about God, He loves you, He died on the cross for your sins, and regardless of the disability, He has a plan and a purpose for your life.
