God Unboxed

One of the hardest struggles I have faced is being a believer of Jesus and having a disabling condition.  There are a LOT (or it sure seems that way) of folks that can’t reconcile faith and disability.  I have been told I am arrogant, don’t pray enough, not humble enough, have some unexposed sin I am unwilling to relinquish and the list goes on. Why? Over the years I have been prayed for and over countless times for healing and reversal of this condition and instead it keeps marching on down the hill of deterioration.  Some may wonder why I continue on this path of spirituality, and this is my answer:  I am a believer of Jesus and friend of God because of who They are not because of how other believer’s behave, think or say They are.  I have been really lucky to keep a lot of the resentment at bay because of this simple fact.  And when I do get upset, I need to just go back to who I know God to be, not what others try to impress upon me.  I have learned to take God out of the box so many have stuffed Him into.
