I was reading in the Philippines (1:12-14) this morning and read these verses by Paul: “But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out to further the gospel, so that it has become clear to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.”

In reading it, I thought about how my health issues and disabilities have caused so many struggles and hardships for me. But then I look back over the last few years and see how the ‘fruit of the Kingdom’ has been produced in a place I never would have been if it hadn’t been for my physical limitations.

I praise God for His grace and guidance in my life.
