Agree with God, and be at peace; in this way good will come to you. - Job 22:21-21It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
- Psalm 118:8
I believe that if you have the desire and passion to do something, and if it's God's will, you will achieve it in good time. As humans, we continually put limits on ourselves for no reason at all! What's worse is putting limits on God who can do all things. We put God in a "box". The awesome thing about the Power of God, is that if we want to do something for God, instead of focusing on our capability, concentrate on our availability for we know that it is God through us and we can't do anything without Him. Once we make ourselves available for God's work, guess whose capabilities we rely on? God's!

I'm trying to decide what this is saying. Someone that makes everyone else feel gifted, generous in there sympathies, overwelmed with a surplus of compassion. Someone that lives at the mercy of the planet, and is prey to all that could show cause. Someone to whom a crucifiction has left less famous scars. The sad thing is that he is the lamb that can turn no table. He could be closer to that which he loves in a Buddest monestary. Where his care would be no burden for anyone.
He has reached a place of peace about his situtation...very much as a monk in a monestary reaches a place of peace in the stillness of introspection. The only difference is he has chosen to work in the world. Buddha also chose to live and teach in the world.
It is hard for us to look at a body with no limbs but his disability has proved to be a gift. He is able to demonstrate God's love actively in a way few can or would. By reflecting God's love with joy, strength and confidence you forget his disability. You see only God's love. That is why he makes a powerful impact on people and that is his intention. Maybe he also exists so that people have the opportunity to care for him.
