Why did God create my child with a disability? In Scripture we are told that we are all created in the likeness of God, or in His image. God is without sin, so when we are created we are without sin. Unfortunately, the world into which we enter is NOT without sin. Satan is the father of all sin. We are told that all sin and sickness entered into the world through Satan working in Adam and Eve. This tells us that every physical, mental, emotional or behavioral condition which keeps us from perfection is the direct result of sin. Therefore, genetic problems didnt exist before Adam and Eve sinned. Neither did respiratory issues, seizure disorders, or any of the other illnesses or health problems that we have in our lives. Satan is the father of all sin, but did he create your child instead of God? Absolutely not. Did he create the sin that affects their health. Yes. But guess what? The God that hung the stars in space by just speaking a few words? Thats the God who created your child. The God who breathes the breath of all life into the living - thats the God who breathed life into your child. The God who clothed Himself in flesh and lived a sinless life, yet humbly walked to a death on the cross to pay the price for those sins - thats the God who loves your child. Does sin in this world cause us problems? Sure it does. Does it affect our lives in terrible ways? Absolutely. But its not bigger than God because Hes already defeated it. He defeated it on a lonely cross 2000 years ago. Your child is loved and adored by the King of all creation, by the Great Physician Himself and any sin that affects his or her health has already been defeated too. We have all been created to bring Him glory. For no other reason, but to know Him and glorify Him. Your child is already doing that. With each breath taken he or she bares manifest witness to the Glory of God.
