How Beautiful Are the Feet…

My friend Gracie is a double amputee (along with a few Africans who received prosthetics from her ministry Standing with Hope). Because Gracie wears skirts, everybody can easily see that she walks on steel rods. Several people have asked why she doesn’t cover up her artificial legs, but Gracie knows that her appearance drives home the Gospel message that she shares with everyone she meets. She puts everything out there: everything about the gutsy reality of her glaring disability, as well as everything about the Lord Jesus. Romans chapter 10 says, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”—and, oh, when I see Gracie walking, I think those metal rods are beautiful! Friend, whatever your physical appearance or illness, don’t try to minimize it. Today let others see your weakness; it’s perhaps the best way to highlight how great the Good News really is!
