Let’s talk about disabilities

"I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well." - Psalm 139:14 (ESV)

Even though the stories like the LeRette’s The Unbreakable Boy have been seen before, this film engages with the realities that come with raising children with these medical conditions. Still, how within these struggles, these unique humans have something to offer society that should be embraced. One element of Jesus' teachings that reflected the words of Psalm 139 shows that God values each and every one of us.

"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows." - Matthew 10:29-31 (ESV)

Jesus is saying that God does care about his creation, but more importantly, he cares about each person on earth. Each man and woman has value. Even though God knows every sparrow and where it falls, mankind's value exceeds the sparrows. God cares so much about humanity that he knows the numbers of each of our hairs and has provided a means to spend eternity with him through his Son.

This all means that regardless of your life experience or situation, you are valued by God.
