God will take away disability
So Stefan and countless others can look forward to a time when disabilities will be a thing of the past

I was touched to read the page 3 story titled, Express named and shamed, about Stephan Maritz being involved in a serious accident.
It is, of course, very sad that a member of the public with no knowledge, whatsoever, of a driver of a car, could just have taken a picture and submitted it to Express for eventual publication, without verifying the driver’s circumstances. One would have thought, the least one could do, in such instances, is to ensure that he or she first carefully observed that the driver of a vehicle parked in the disabled bay is truly a non-disabled person, before embarking on a name and shame campaign.
Nonetheless, we all should thank Stefan’s wife, Natascha, as well as a reader quoted in the story for coming out and putting the record straight pertaining to Stefan’s situation.
Further, all honest hearted individuals would, by all means, agree with the sentiments of the the reader when he or she says, ”Why don’t you stop judging and rather join us in prayer that he will walk again”.
In fact, all the disabled as well as others afflicted with all sorts of physical impediments can look forward to a future time in which such conditions will prevail no more.
The Bible points to such a time when it say, ”At that time the eyes of the blind ones will be opened, and the very ears of the deaf ones will be unstopped. At that time a lame one will climb up just as a stag does, and the tongue of the speechless one will cry out in gladness.”
In Isaiah 35 verse 5 and 6. A few chapters before that, Isaiah indicates that God will go even further in rectifying mankind’s condition when he says in chapter 25 verse 8, ”He (God) will actually swallow up death forever, the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken it.”
Notice how Isaiah the prophet assures us of the reliability of this comforting divine promise by saying, ”Jehovah himself has spoken.”
A similar prophesy is outlined in the last of the Bible’s 66 books namely, Revelation (read Revelation 21: 1-5).
So Stefan and countless others can look forward to a time when disabilities will be a thing of the past.
In the meantime, however, we beseech God to give strength to such one (and their families) so that they are able to live happy and fulfilled lives regardless of their conditions or circumstances.
