consider verse 11, 12 and 15 in this way, "It doesn't matter if you have an illness or physical challenge, or if you have been passed over in the past. You may even use a cane, crutches and you might be in a wheelchair. Yet Christ is all that matters and He lives in all of us. God loves you and has chosen you as His own special people! Each of you is part of the body of Christ and you were chosen!"
