True but we also have to do something that is very difficult for us to do. Some things must be turned over to The Lord and ask His Will be done. His Will may well not be what we wanted or expected but can in time bring greater things. Adversity is GOD's tempering tool for us as fire is to steel.
I have two cousins also confined to wheelchairs for life. One can use her arms and hands OK. One can move nothing but fingers just barely. What was GOD's purpose? A mans soul perhaps that nothing or no one else could reach? A hardened USMC WW2 combat vet who saw action on the islands in Japan? Friends couldn't lead him to the Lord. But seeing his grand kid keep on keeping on touched him. I saw the man a couple years before he died bawl like a baby as a hospital Chaplain {Retired Military} was talking to him. When his time came he was ready. He was changed though still rough around the edges. What is a lifetime of her affliction vs the mans eternal soul being lost? But she has reached and inspired many others though.
GOD's thinking and plan of salvation He began in Genesis is something our mind can't fully grasp.
Yes; God leaves plenty of room for our efforts... in fact accepting the Holy Spirit always results in doing SOMETHING... with the giant caveat that our efforts have to be centered around the Holy Spirit to be blessed. Works, once faith is exercised, aren’t a matter of whether, they are only a matter of how much.
I do not envy the present position of those who are suffering near totally paralyzed in wheelchairs. But that too is a challenge of exercising faith. My challenge isn’t their challenge. I have seen different woes. But I also understand more and more in my heart how God can work the most grueling experiences for my good.
