When God’s Gift Comes Specially Wrapped

Perhaps nothing challenges our confidence in the sovereignty and goodness of God more than seeing a child with disabilities. Despite how this truth might agitate our personal sensibilities, the Lord does allow children to be born with missing limbs, contorted bodies, or damaged brains. Contrary to our fearful assumptions, disabilities are not God’s judgment for sin. In fact, Scripture teaches that the Lord ordains a sacred purpose for people with disabilities. As with all weaknesses, disabilities provide Him an opportunity to display His grace and glory.
