Biblical Reasonings

Just last week I went on the internet to the online Bible to look up disability and try to find biblical stories or verses that would be good to lean on in the future. I tried searching disability, disabled, etc. and found nothing. I know the Bible is full of stories about people who were healed by God and so I found it odd that my search returned nothing. I was at work so decided just to look through the reference pages in my Bible later on. Last night a lady I met in Seattle who has a daughter that is just like Kyla (has a full arm amputation, left arm, below the elbow) posted her daughter's story and this is what she said:



God reminded me of all the people Jesus healed in the Bible; they all had mothers who had probably cried out to God for the healing of their children. Their imperfections brought God glory when they were healed.

“As he went along, he saw a blind man from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.” John 9:1-3



I love this - this tells me that Kyla's arm is not because Kyla deserved this, or that her arm was a result of something bad her Father or I did, but that she was created that way so that God could display his work through her life. Very cool!

Another great verse she shared was Psalm 139.
