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

Faint hearts are encouraged when they read about others who, despite amputation, spinal cord injury, or psychiatric disorders have a vibrant trust and confidence in God.

Deny your weakness, and you will never realize God's strength in you.

I want to stay in the habit of 'glancing' at my problems and 'gazing' at my Lord.

Love is extravagant in the price it is willing to pay, the time it is willing to give, the hardships it is willing to endure, and the strength it is willing to spend. Love never thinks in terms of "how little," but always in terms of "how much." Love gives, love knows, and love lasts.
