Your Story Is Not Over
Today, I want to speak to every person living with a disability who feels tired, overlooked, rejected, or forgotten.
Many of you are struggling to grow in your faith while facing daily challenges that limit you in society. Some of you have experienced discrimination in schools, churches, or the corporate world. Others feel lonely, isolated, and misunderstood.
Hear this clearly:
You are not alone.
I was born with Usher Syndrome Type 2 — a rare, progressive condition that causes both deafness and blindness. Later in life, I developed spinal degeneration. These were not things I chose. These conditions ended my lifelong dream of becoming an archaeologist and professor in Israel. They ended my ability to drive freely. They changed my independence. They even cost me friendships — including fellow Christians who walked away.
This is my reality.
But does it end here?
Absolutely not.
Jesus understands suffering. He understands abandonment. He understands walking a difficult road alone. He carried the cross to Calvary, rejected and deserted, yet never defeated. If He endured, and if He rose in victory, then our story does not end in limitation — it continues in purpose.
You Are Wonderfully Made
Psalm 139:14 reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Your disability does not cancel God’s craftsmanship. It does not erase His intention. You are created in His image with deliberate care and eternal value.
You are not a mistake.
You are not an afterthought.
You are not a burden.
Power in Weakness
2 Corinthians 12:9 declares that Christ’s power is made perfect in weakness. What the world calls limitation, God calls opportunity — opportunity for His strength to shine through your life.
Your reliance on Him is not weakness.
It is spiritual power.
God Uses Those the World Overlooks
Moses doubted himself because of his speech (Exodus 4:10–12). Yet God chose him to confront Pharaoh and lead a nation.
Throughout Scripture, God consistently chooses those society underestimates.
Why?
So that the glory belongs to Him.
You Belong at the Table
When King David welcomed Mephibosheth (2 Samuel 9), he did not treat him as a charity case. He gave him a permanent seat at the king’s table.
That is the heart of God.
People with disabilities are not projects.
They are not objects of pity.They are indispensable members of the Body of Christ.
You are not merely recipients of ministry — you are ministers.
You are gifted.
You are called.
You are needed.
My Journey Continues
For thirty-four years, I have served Christ. Despite the loss, the pain, the misunderstandings, and the obstacles, I remain deeply rooted in Him.
My body may weaken.
My vision may fade.
My hearing may decline.
But my faith grows stronger.
I look forward to the day I stand before my Master — whether through His return or when He calls me home. Until then, I remain faithful.
And I say to you:
Do not give up.
Do not surrender your calling.
Do not let society define your worth.
Keep your lamp filled with oil.
Stay ready.
Stay faithful.
Your life is a testimony that strength is not measured by physical ability, but by spiritual endurance.
You are seen.
You are chosen.
You are loved.
And your story is far from over.
