No god gave you a stutter. The human body is EXTREMELY complex and not perfect as it develops. Some of our bodies developed in a way that causes our vocal communication to sound different. There is no great meaning behind it. The way you handle incorporating a stutter into your life and psyche is not in a god's hands either, it is squarely in yours. I have had a stutter for 45 years now. I am happily married to my best friend and beautiful wife. I have the best daughter in the world. I have chosen to let stuttering be a part of what makes me... well, me. I have learned to not beat myself up for something I can't control, and ignore others who think less of me because of the way I talk. They are not people I want in my life anyways.
