What does having a good life mean?
There are so many thoughts on this topic, I’m going to share mine.
I’ve been hugging children who often spend 80 percent of their day in wheelchairs, most dont speak, and most dont taste food.
It dawned on me how often people who dont know them feel bad for them, they called them cursed, they dont see them as children but more like corruptions.
I have a sweet sister who is completely dependent on another for ever life experience. I used to feel so bad and begged and prayed for God to fix the situation.
The Lord asked me who I thought I was thinking I know what a good quality of life was, who am I to say the dont live fully. My response was they are trapped in a chair looking out at the world passing by them.
The Lord always knows better.
Doesn’t the Lord promise to come to the weak and lowley? Doesn’t the Lord promise to accompany and comfort those who are hurting? Doesn’t he say those who come as children inherit the kingdome of heaven?
I believe because of their conditions they get to be closer to the Lord, they get to expirience the intimacy and presence of the Lord in a way you and I could never.
This is not a trade off, a normal life for less of God, no, but rather an encouraging reminder that for the things we dont understand we often put a label of imperfect on it but the Lord promises to perfect all things.
How is it that these children are also the ones who are the happiest people on this planet, they smile and the littlest things, they enjoy the simple things.
I know it because they have promises you and I could never understand. 🙂
