Editor's note: This is a story of a male believer named Wisdom who suffered from cerebral palsy caused by a lack of oxygen at birth. His parents accepted this fact by faith, taking him everywhere to seek medical treatment. Although physically disabled, he has an excellent spirit, and God arranged parents, teachers, and classmates to help and encourage him. Now, he actively participates in serving God, which is the wonderful grace of God.
While praying outside the ward, the family waited for a new life to be born. "Whoa, whoa, whoa... " With a cry, a new life came into the world on August 9, 2000.
The child's Christian maternal grandma felt that something was wrong when she heard the baby's cry outside the door. She asked the doctor who had just come out of the operating room, "Why does this child cry like that?" "It doesn’t matter and this child is healthy." (Actually, the doctor knew about the child's defect, but he didn't want to say about it or didn't know how to say.)
"I think this child's cry is not normal. Let's take him to a big hospital for a check-up, as that’s better...", the child's maternal grandma suggested. But his paternal grandma retorted, "Nonsense, the doctor has said that the child is healthy, only you say there is something wrong with the child..."
The child thus missed the "golden period" of treatment...
The child kept crying all through the night until noon the next day, and the cry was different from other babies’. His mother had not slept all night but was instead crying too.
Seeing that the child was still crying until noon the next day, the doctor suggested putting the child to sleep by injection. In this way, the child slept for a day and a night. As first-time parents, they didn't have much experience.
After a few months, the child's parents found that the child couldn’t hold up his head. Becoming nervous, his parents took the child to see a doctor in Shanghai who said that the child just had digestive problems.
The child could not walk until he was 12 months old. The parents became nervous again, and the child was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The doctor said, "There are many reasons for cerebral palsy, and the child’s problem is caused by hypoxia. It is best to be found at an early stage and receive timely rehabilitation treatment, and you found it too late. Now it is better to take treatment than give up... …”
Unable to accept this fact, his mother wept bitterly in front of God, asking, "Why do you give me such a child?" She received a response from God, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
At that time, she was a well-known tailor with several apprentices. After seeing the disabled child, they all persuaded her, saying, "Abandon this child! ", "Give birth to another one", and "He won’t be cured even when grown up." However, the parents decided to accept the child after discussing it for a long time, as they felt it was their responsibility to raise this child and were unwilling to abandon him. Later, the child's mother made a decision of giving up her job to take care of him wholeheartedly...
Thank the Lord, with no mental problems, the child could make phone calls at three years old and recite many ancient poems. With a great thirst for the truth, he fell asleep with hymns every night.
Wisdom didn’t start the first grade until he was nine. His father, a proud man, refused to send him to a special school. Wisdom was fortunate in attending ordinary schools, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to know so many words or join the writing ministry. After he graduated from junior high school, his father sent him to a special school where he stayed for a week. As he couldn't stand it, his parents had no choice but to take him home.
He studied in a primary school in his hometown, with good grades in his first and second years. He began to evangelize in his class, where the classmates and teachers were all kind to him, including five Chinese teachers and two math teachers. It was all God's special arrangement and guidance.
During the three years of junior high school, he could not keep up because of faster lesson progression and more difficult homework. Besides teaching him very patiently, the teacher arranged for a classmate to sit behind him to help him.
At the junior high school graduation party, Wisdom once again preached the gospel to a classmate. "I can’t solve the math problems you have taught me for three years, and you also don't believe the gospel I have preached to you for these years." "Wisdom, you should trust science rather than believe in superstition." And Wisdom asked him, "How many scientists do you know?..." "I know what you are going to say next. Can you not talk about this which has been said about for three years? "…
In the summer of 2017, graduating from his junior high school, he couldn’t attend high middle school due to physical illness. The Sunday school teacher encouraged him, saying "Although you can't go to high middle school, you can go to study theology. After graduating from the seminary, you may not preach at the altar but can do literature evangelism. I'll ask the pastor of the church for you, and give you a reply next week." This made Wisdom happy.
After a week, the teacher told him, "The person in charge is afraid that you will not be able to stand studying there. You can read the Bible at home first."
In September of that year, his mother took back the phones from him and his younger sister after the summer vacation. During that time, they only had a Bible at home, no smartphone, TV, or computer. So he read the scriptures, again and again, every day... After half a year, he tried to start writing sermons, the first of which was "God Loves the World".
Later, receiving the smartphone again from his mother, he applied for an official WeChat account to post one sermon every week until now, with an increased number of followers.
Meanwhile, he also opened a Taobao store, which ended only after a few months, but his WeChat account has now been unblocked. He thought maybe the words of the teacher five years ago gave him the courage to persevere in the ministry.

编者按：这是一位自出生就身患脑瘫的弟兄（名叫智慧）的成长见证。因出生时缺氧导致脑瘫，父母靠着信仰接受了这个事实，并带他四处求医。虽然身体残疾，但他的灵性美好，父神亦在他的成长之路上安排了一个个美丽的天使，父母、老师、同学……带给他很多的温暖和鼓励。如今，他也开始走上服侍之路，实在是神的奇妙恩典。
病房外的家属们一边祷告，一边等待一个新生命地诞生，“哇哇，哇哇，哇哇……”伴随着哭声，2000年8月9日，一个新生命来到这个世界上。
孩子的基督徒外婆在门外听见婴孩的哭声却觉得有点不对劲，她问刚从手术房出来的医生：“这小孩的哭声怎么不对？”“没事，这小孩挺健康的。”（其实这位医生知道了这小孩的缺陷，只是他不愿意说，或者不知道怎么说。）
“我听这个孩子的哭声不对，还是带去大医院检查检查吧！这样安心点……”孩子的外婆建议到。奶奶却反驳道，“胡说，医生都说孩子挺健康的，只有你这个老太婆说孩子有问题……”
孩子就这样被耽误了治疗的“黄金时期”……
孩子一直哭个不停，从晚上一直哭到第二天中午，这个哭声又与别的婴儿不一样，孩子妈妈一夜未睡，孩子哭个不停，她也哭。
到了第二天中午，医生见这孩子还在哭，就建议家属打一针安眠针，就这样，孩子睡了一天一夜……因为他们第一次当父母，没有太多的经验……
过了几个月，孩子爸妈发现孩子的脖子抬不起来。孩子爸妈紧张起来，就带孩子去上海看病，医生只是说他肠胃不好。
好景不长大概一周岁，孩子还不会走路，孩子的爸妈再次紧张起来，结果到医院一查，查出来两个字——“脑瘫”。医生说，导致脑瘫疾病有许多原因，“这孩子因缺氧而导致，如果能及时发现，及时作康复治疗效果是最好的，但是你们发现太迟了，但是，治疗总比不治疗好……”
孩子的妈妈在神面前痛哭流涕，“为什么要给我这样一个孩子？”得到的回应却是神当年对保罗说的：“我的恩典够你用的，因为我的能力是在人的软弱上显得完全。所以，我更喜欢夸自己的软弱，好叫基督的能力覆庇我。”
在那个年代，孩子的母亲也算是一个小有名气的裁缝，还带了几个徒弟。他们看到智慧后，都劝母亲说：“把这个孩子扔了吧！长大了，也没用”“再生一个”……然而这位母亲和他父亲商量考虑了好久，他们觉得有责任继续抚养这个孩子，他们选择接纳这个孩子，即使这个孩子有残缺，他们也不愿意抛弃他，孩子母亲放弃了工作，全心全意来照顾这个孩子……
感谢主，智慧的智力没有问题，三岁的时候就会打电话，还会背许多古诗，也特别渴慕真理，每次都是伴着赞美诗入睡。
9岁智慧才开始读一年级，父亲是个爱面子的人，不愿意把孩子送到特殊学校。初中毕业那年的9月份，爸爸把智慧送进了特殊学校，智慧待了一个礼拜就受不了……爸妈拿他没办法，只好带智慧回家，现在想想一切都是神的美意，如果那个时候就去特殊学校读一年级，现在也不可能认识这么多字，更不可能用文字去服侍神！
智慧小学是在老家的一所小学读的，一、二年级智慧的成绩还不错，老师同学都对他很好。记得读二年级的时候，他就开始在班里传福音。
小学期间他的班里换了5 个语文老师，2个数学老师，每位老师和同学都对智慧特别好。 初中三年，因为功课难，作业多，教的快，智慧根本跟不上，老师非常耐心的教他，还专门安排了一个同学坐在智慧的后桌来教他。
在初中毕业晚会上，智慧再一次给一位同学传福音:“某某同学呀！你教我3年的数学题我都不怎么会呀！我给你传了3年的福音你都不信呀！”“智慧，你这个人太迷信了，要相信科学”……智慧就问他“你认识几位科学家？”“我知道你下句话，怎么说都三年了，不说这个了行不行？”……
2017年那年暑假，智慧初中毕业了！因为身体原因上不了高中，于是，主日学老师就鼓励智慧说:“虽然你上不了高中，但是，你可以去读神学呀！“神学毕业后不一定是站讲台的，等你毕业后，可以做个文字布道。我帮你问问教会的牧者” 这可把智慧乐坏了。
过了一个礼拜，主日学老师就联系智慧说：“负责人怕你在那里学习太累，你可以在家里学习，先把圣经的架构要掌握好！”
那年9月份，智慧的妹妹上初一，智慧妈在收他妹手机的同时把智慧的手机也收了，那段时间在家里没有手机，没有电视，没有电脑，只有一本圣经，就这样智慧只能每天拿着圣经，一遍一遍的读……过了半年开始尝试写，记得他的第一篇讲章是《神爱世人》……
后来，妈妈重新还给智慧手机，智慧就在网上申请了一个公众号发他写的这些讲章，每个礼拜一篇讲章一直坚持到现在，粉丝也在不断的增。
在做公众号时，他也开过淘宝网店，结果不到几个月网店就黄了，但这个公众号却一直做到现在，他也不知道自己的文字事工是怎样坚持下来的，大概就是五年前老师的那句话给了他勇气吧！
