I just LOVE your heart Bethany 🙂 I love this statement: “Our disabilities do not define our capability to fully experience God’s heart healing ability.” We all have something that is disabling us in our walk with Christ and holding us back from experiencing the complete healing of God’s grace – I choose to walk in GRACE today 🙂
Sarah – So glad you stopped by! Your words are so encouraging today! Thank you!
I love reading your words, Bethany!! I am so grateful that God sees my heart and knows even the places I try to hide from the world! I spent my whole life feeling like I was being judged by my outsides and wished for more friends, now I don’t care if I have lots of worldly friends, I just want Jesus. The really amazing thing is, though, when I took my eyes off my lack of earthly friends and turned my eyes on Him He put amazing Jesus oozing women in my life through P31 Online Bible Study!
Posted before I finished!! I thank God everyday for putting YOU in my life!! Keep on Blogging dear friend!
Nancy – I feel like we are sharing coffee in the comment section today! Love that God is working through you!
Many times I find myself posting, wondering if my experience can relate. It’s incredible to watch God work, unite and heal.
Thanks for reminding me that God looks at our hearts and not our outward appearance!
Thank you for such a poignant reminder! I think God often uses my various ‘disabilities’ to remind me of my utter need for him, but I forget sometimes that it’s even bigger than just me!
This post was so beautifully written. I have often felt the exact same things you are talking about. Thank you for reminding me that God doesn’t care about my cane even a smidge, I care too much about what it looks like when I’m limping around. He cares about my heart, and I pray my heart is pleasing to Him. Thank you for this blog. I do think I will have to stop by again!
Maxine –
During my battle with brain cancer, I went through stages that I needed a cane, a motorized scooter and even walker. I’m a very prideful person, so using all of these items were so difficult for me…especially in the public eye. Yet, I grew so much through these experiences.
Funny…I just sold my scooter yesterday and though I’m excited someone will get great use from it, I learned so much from its seat too.
Stay in touch friend!
It’s not how God views us… Bethany, this is a hard and beautiful truth that I have to challenge myself to accept time and time again. Your story, your determination to see the good in each stage of your journey so far, is SUCH an inspiration!
This is still a struggle for me…but He shines through our weakness! Everyday!
