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.”
