Your Question:
Can I still have a sense of purpose with a disability?
Answer:
My friend, I can tell you that having a disability does not mean you've lost your sense of purpose. In fact, research has shown that people with disabilities, even in extreme cases, do not believe their lives are not worth living. On the contrary, many report being happy with their lives. This is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. As a pastor, I've seen firsthand the impact that disability can have on a person's life. But I've also seen the blessings and benefits that come from living with a disability. Caregivers, for instance, often deepen in their compassion and empathy as they care for someone with a disability. This is not just a one-way street, my friend - the person with the disability can also grow and learn from their experiences, even in the midst of suffering. I believe that our purpose in life is not defined by our circumstances, but by our relationship with God. Even in the midst of suffering, we can find purpose and meaning. As the Bible says, "We can fulfill our purpose. We can even learn to do many of the incredible things Jesus did." It won't be easy, and it won't just happen by chance. But with faith, hope, and perseverance, we can discover our purpose and live it out, even in the face of disability.
