At the risk of appearing vain, I am posting a sermon I was humbled to deliver this past weekend at our church (http://www.westoverchurch.com/) concerning God's perspective on disabilities. While I wouldn't wish listening to me on anyone, I post this for two reasons:
1) I want my son to one day know of the impact he has had, by God's grace, on his papa. Were it not for Timothy's birth and life, I would never think to speak about disabilities much less know what to say. When I think of the people my son has impacted indirectly, I shudder with joy.
2) I desire for as many people possible to catch a glimpse of God's love and passion for those affected by disabilities. My hope is this sermon will provide a mere reflection of the Gospel and its impact upon the world of disabilities.
Like I told someone yesterday, while this sermon took me 35 minutes to speak and 2 months to write . . . God took over two years to speak and write these truths into my life. Timothy, my son, you have been and continue to be an instrument in our Heavenly Father's hand . . . to shape your earthly father's heart.
