Many are the emotions that Ryan shared with us during his testimony. He was proud of his decision to be publicly baptised. He laughed at the thought of his "fussing" with Mom or Dad.
To me, what really marked the power of Ryan's message was when he publicly announced that he was different. "I have Down Syndrome," he said. It hurt for him to admit who he is, didn't it? What courage Ryan has been given. What bravery it was to admit to who he was. Ryan is the kind of man that God can use to further His Kingdom! Lord knows, we need more men and women of God like Ryan, TODAY!
Are you brave enough to admit to who you are?
Through encounters with courageous people of disabilities like Ryan Pittman, I am also embolden. I am Brad Phillips. I am a repenting sinner turned worshipping saint by the power of Jesus Christ. As Ryan said "We are all the same. We all need God."
This is the "Worship For All" blog. It has a heavenly ending.
