Overcoming Differences

God makes each person special—a unique creation whom He planned from the beginning of time. God does not make mistakes. In our world, it is so important that we learn to respect the dignity of every human person, no matter our differences. Unfortunately, people with disabilities experience a great amount of discrimination, including bullying. People with disabilities deserve the same love and support as everyone else. God has a special plan for every single person, no matter what our abilities.
