Grace be to you, friend.
Sam Ayooluwa, a minister of God without Border, to those living with disability, who have often been seen through limitation before being seen through love. Grace be to you, and peace to your heart. I write to you today with honor.
Before society gave opinions, before people stared awkwardly, before anyone reduced you to what they could observe, God had already spoken concerning you. In Christ Jesus, you are whole. Your worth is complete. Your dignity is settled. Your humanity is not waiting for approval.
You are not lesser because your body moves differently, responds differently, or carries realities others may not understand. Many have not known how to relate with wisdom.
Some have body-shamed openly. Some have pitied you unnecessarily. Some have stared in silence as though you are strange. Others, though zealous, have acted without understanding, praying over you in ways that make your body seem like a public problem to be solved.
