Acts 3:2 ” Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.”

The beggar had been crippled from birth…maybe from some congenital defect such as Spina Bifida or an injury that occurred during the birthing process.  His physical impairment was apparent to all, but how many times  do we have invisible handicaps and defects?  Many  walk around emotionally crippled at the hand of abusive parents or spouses.  Many are mentally crippled by poverty or social injustices that they were powerless to change.  But just like this crippled beggar,  we too can be healed  in the name of Jesus  to live a full and joyous life.
