sometimes i have to wonder if the "normal people" in this world are really the ones who are missing out. the people who have everything, the people who are totally whole.
i have an autistic friend who is by far the most fascinating person i know. he has the purest heart and i guarantee that his relationship with god is the most beautiful thing in the world.
and i have a deaf friend who feels sorry for the hearing because we are selfish, greedy, and filled with hatred. those of us who are "normal" take advantage of god's blessing so often, and we don't even know how great we could have it if we would realize that we don't DESERVE anything we have, and that it can be taken away at any moment.
that's the thing. without that struggle, how will we know how victory truly feels? and that it's the best thing in the world? i love to think that my sickness was just a season for me to realize how wonderful being well is. and i am well. for the first time in a long while, i can say that i'm well and really mean it with all my heart. that's glory to god, of course. but what i'm trying to say is that i'm glad i was sick. because my sickness made my wellness all that much more amazing to me.
just don't take anything for granted. you didn't earn it. the lord gives, and the lord takes away. and only when you realize that can you truly be grateful.
