“God Carries Me”
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jake writes:
I was born with cerebral palsy and some major health problems. The doctors said I would never run or walk for the rest of my life!
However, at age 4, I had a surgery that released the spasticity from my back to my legs. This surgery is the ONLY reason why I’m walking today!
Jeremiah 29:11 — “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
There are probably some of you out there reading this with a disability like me. My advice to you is don’t give up! God has carried me in life so far and is carrying me and you right now despite everything we are dealing with! You are not alone.
