Maybe the truly handicapped people are the ones that don't need God as much.

The truths of the Bible are never just abstract concepts; they're always related to real people.

Thankfully, God brought wise Christian friends alongside to help me discover life-transforming precepts in his Word.

Suffering always prompts heart-wrenching questions: if God is good, why would He allow this pain in my life? Is God truly sovereign over accidents and birth anomalies, or does the devil set the world's agenda? How do I counsel people who are despairing of their condition?

Often when people are diagnosed with a life-changing medical condition, they feel overwhelmed. They feel choked by darkness and hopelessness. Those are times when answers simply do not suffice. That's because answers don't always reach the problem where it hurts: in the gut and in the heart.

Now, most people who suffer realize that the Bible contains answers for their plight; they just don't know where to look.

In the Christian faith, God really puts suffering front and center. He doesn't get squeamish about it.
