Worthy: Society in Search of the Courage to Accept Disability Through a Lens of Grace

I was two years old when I stopped walking. I have spent the rest of my life living through an amazing life-altering testimony of how easily our society can knowingly or even otherwise, leave a section of its brothers and sisters on the margins, and see them as burdens. God, on the other hand, seeks to use everything in our lives for His glory.

The limitation will not be a reason to give up on the purpose for which God created us. Seeing life through God’s lens gives us an incredible vantage point, and which reminds us that through His grace, nothing that happens to us disqualifies a person from His perfect will.

Worthy hinges on a Bible story of the man born blind, whose interaction with Jesus Christ led to diverse unpleasant responses from his (the man’s) own society- the Jewish Community. Worthy consequently discusses some of these ordeals persons with disabilities go through daily, and raises theological, cultural and social issues that need to be addressed to enhance the dignity of persons with disabilities.
