Your Disability Doesn't Mean God Doesn't Love You!
People should never think that God hates them just because they live with a disability or suffer from physical problems, says famed evangelist the Rev. Billy Graham.
In his advice column on the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association website, a person who has a physical disability asked Graham why God allowed them to have physical problems.
"I've always had physical problems that limit my ability to walk or do most of the things that normal people do," queried the person.
"As a result I have very few friends, and sometimes I wish I'd never been born. Why did God let this happen to me? Does God hate me?"
Graham responded that while he didn't not know why "God allowed this to happen to you," he did know that "God does not hate you."
"In fact, the opposite is true: God loves you, even if you doubt it. From one end of the Bible to the other, God repeatedly assures us of His love for us, even in the midst of hardship or conflict," wrote Graham.
