so that the work of God might be displayed in her life

Something captured me in this story of a deaf girl who wanted to experience music and play in a band. She certainly learned to “hear” music in her own way to overcome her deafness, but it wasn’t until she embraced her own deafness that she would be able to “hear” well enough to play in a band.

God in Christ embraces us in all our humanity, in our frailties, in our blindness and deafness and in all the ways we might consider “cursed”. It is in our humanity, through the divine that became human in Christ, that God’s work might be displayed in our lives. I think the message is clear; we need to embrace our own humanity and every thing that goes with it including what we might consider “cursed” as God embraces us. It is only then that something truly divine might be done in our lives and we who are blind and deaf will truly begin to see and hear.

Why was the girl in the video born deaf? Well my guess is so that the work of God might be displayed in her life. Why were you and I created the way we are? For the very same reason, so let us embrace our human condition as Christ has embraced us.
