Back in 2012 my health started to decline. Today the wheelchair is my reality. Not wanting to make it all about me, God graciously reminded me that everyone feels like they are in a wheelchair.

• The feeling that things are out of control.

• Pushed in directions I didn't plan on going.

• The fear of going too fast or the frustration of going too slow.

• Heartache due to broken dreams.

• Angry from having to live with limitations, consequences, boundaries, or restrictions.

• Coping with changes that impact my identity or who I thought I was.

• Anxiety that I might be rejected.

• A sense of pain and lack of comfort and contentment to make it go away. 

 

I have found that the only way for me to resolve any of these feelings in on my knees before God. God loves me and He loves you too! He longs to be in a relationship with us! Hard times cause our hearts to long for something deeper and real. This is found when we are in a relationship with the God who created us.

 

Accepting that Jesus is God's son and that He died and rose from the dead to pay for our sins is the only way to God. God is the only one that can give us peace, purpose, contentment, a true identity, and the security of being unconditionally loved.

 

I pray that no matter what your wheelchair may be that you will accept God's love you! I have found His love to be true in mine!

 

Jeremiah 29: 11-13 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will hear you. You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart."

 

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world (you), that He gave His only son. That whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life."
