Dear Diary, the following i read in a book  titled: Geborgen in liefde. Author Sarah Williams. The quote is from Jürgen Moltmann. I do not agree with everything that he has written during his life. But this quote i find to be  strong:

“In reality there
 is no such thing
 as a non-handicapped
 life; only the ideal
 of health set up by
 society and the
 capable condemns
 a certain group
 of people to be
 called handicapped.
 Our society
 arbitrarily defines
 health as the
 capacity for work
 and a capacity for
 enjoyment, but true
 health is something
 quite different.
 True health is the
 strength to live,
 the strength to
 suffer, the strength
 to die. Health is
 not a condition
 of my body; it is
 the power of my soul
 to cope with the
 varying conditions
 of the body.”  
I like to add to that
our souls can
only cope when touched
and healed by Christ.
Needed is 
a new mindset. 
What i'm 
not saying is that
there is no need for
healing. There is. 
And Christ has 
healed many. And still
people recieve 
His healing. 

Why on earth would we
want to call anyone 
disabled? Why not 
His abled? Because 
God can perfectly
work through anyone
who loves and obeys
Him.
Seems like menkind
( not everyone)
has a completely 
different view on
perfection. Like 
perfection can only
be found in what
people believe is 
perfect. How come that 
a perfect God works
through a creation
that eventually
dies? And how come
that perfection is
seen in people's not
so perfect lifes?




True health is the
 strength to live,
 the strength to
 suffer, the strength
 to die. Health is
 not a condition
 of my body; it is
 the power of my soul
 to cope with the
 varying conditions
 of the body.”
