God loves fellowshipping with His people, but such cannot take place unless someone falls on his knees and begins communicating with Him. God knows everyone's needs and provides them to those who believe.

Much of the church has forgotten that we worship a disabled God whose wounds survived resurrection, says Amy Kenny. It is time for the church to start treating disabled people as full members of the body of Christ who have much more to offer than a miraculous cure narrative and to learn from their embodied experiences.
