Do you know what it means to be amazing? To be precious? To be unique or special? Are you aware, that you are ALL of these? You are. I was brought up believing that I couldn’t fit into God’s mold because I was special. I remember hearing how God didn’t want people like me because I couldn’t be perfect, I couldn’t fit in a mold, I couldn’t fit in anyone’s mold. I was called, ‘the black sheep, an evil omen, bad luck, a whore, the devil’s advocate, Satan’s child.’ Few people thought that I could mentally pass the age of 7 and when I did they didn’t think I would pass 10, 12 or 20. I did, I also found out that God didn’t care if I am a special. I recently messaged a friend who lives in another country. He works with children, much like myself that are special. He says it breaks his heart that the parents believe their child is cursed and often the dads leave or both parents. It is not an uncommon thought. I am here to tell you, to tell everyone, it is a blessing to have a special child and not a curse because it is through special children that God’s love can show brighter. God does use us, He believes in us even when no human can and He will show the world that even through us He can shine His power. You are amazing! You are precious! You are unique! I believe the verse in the Bible that says, “You plotted evil against me, but God used it for good.” (Genesis 50:20). Yes everyone is special in some shape or form and we all have inabilities and disabilities. That is what makes each of us unique! Next time you look at anyone different than you thank God for them!
