Many of the greatest, most noble souls that I have ever encountered are children embodied in a “handicapped” body. These great souls have witnessed to me of the majesty, goodness, and wisdom of God. Because these children have taught me and witnessed to me, it has become my duty and responsibility to defend their worth and value to all society.
How ironic it is that the world questions the value and contribution of these very souls. Many even question the value of their life on earth, these souls who inspire and teach of God, these souls who are more worthy of living, more deserving of praise than many of the selfish, self-absorbed souls who share this planet with them.
Am I suggesting that they are perfect and require no guidance and instruction? of course not. I am testifying that their souls are often far more refined than ours are. I am testifying that Christ was the model when He stated, “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 19:14) How can any follower of God deny any child life? Who are we to make such a judgment? Rather, God has directed us to become like a child in our humility and in our quest for what is right and proper.
