Disabilities Turn Around

Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a sleeping mat. They tried to take him inside to Jesus, Jesus answered them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.  I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners and need to repent.”

Luke 5:18‭, ‬31‭-‬32 NLT

dis·a·bil·i·ty  noun

• a physical or mental condition that limits a person's movements, senses, or activities. We are all sick in some way... I'm not talking about the obvious which is present in people. The lame...mentally and physical disability but "our minds". I know firsthand what it feels like to be mentally challenged. Pre-stroke and now because of this Stroke. Yet my mental capabilities now are what they are and I embraced them. But prior to the Stroke...I was in a "mental prison" also. My mind was not "focus on God" the way it is now. It was "focus on me" and my worldview - perfection…

ego…

material wealth…

self pride…

control…

spiritual forgetfulness…

sex…

fame…

jealousy…

and acceptance. It happens to all of us. But now I see that these emotions and feelings were leading my life. Now I just believe. In God...and that he does not want me to "perform" or "do" in life. He just wants me to believe - in him. And not depend on "my own understanding and knowledge of things"...but to just lean ON him. We can be cured by walking with God and seeking his help on a daily basis. So that you have a chance to embrace your "dis·a·bil·i·ty" too. Will you today.
