Disabilities and Handicaps

Everyone is created by God with a purpose. Organizations fulfill their purpose by finding the right workers and enabling these workers to fulfill their purpose. When the people in an organization fulfill their individual purposes, the organization will fulfill its purpose. This is the principle of congruence. This reality is true of people with handicaps and/or disabilities. If an organization is called to hire someone with such a condition, then God has a purpose. The role of management is to trust the providence of God and seek to help all people in the organization, including the handicapped and disabled, to find and fulfill their purpose. Handicaps and disabilities are not impediments to the purpose of God; rather, these seeming impairments will be used by God to accomplish His will—many times by unexpected means. The key to unlocking this reality is to trust in the providence and intentionality of God.
