If I was made in God's Image, why did God make me autistic?
I was going to start a thread on this subject about christians with disabilities and diseases.
I to have many health issues as i know some of my brothers and sisters here do also. .....why?
There are those in the bible that had afflictions and health issues also.
God is worshipped in spirit and truth not by physical endeavors. So where does that leave us?
Remembering the words of joseph in the old testament "you have meant it for evil but GOD meant it for good" always comes to mind.
Where to begin? ....what have you learned about yourself?
I have learned that on my good days of no pain and feeling healthy i tend to be self centered. A my will be done attitude. Oh it starts out by praising God for a good day but then its all me. Untill i over do it then its Lord help me please.
Im honest here because this sickness has actually taught me alot about my self.
As I type here im looking at my tool bench that needs a lot of clean up but Ive noticed some tools hanging here that i have fashioned in a way to work on specific projects. Bent screwdrivers, wrentches ect.
I have pictured God with a tool box with theses same special tools that he uses to reach certain people.
Your disability may be the key to open anothers heart. Your example of overcoming ...a inspiration.
Have to go for now.....think about it.
