Today while singing in front of our church congregation at the Nursing Home, I saw her…my friend Lorraine. Her bright blue eyes beaming with excitement as we sang… “Ill Fly away”. You see, Lorraine can’t sing, nor can she move any of her limbs. Still… She lift’s her eyes to the heaven and bends her head back with Joy. Her mangled arms will one day embrace our Lord. I gave her a kiss after the service and she very slowly said ” I Love You”… and I told her what I always tell her…. That one day very soon… she will not need that wheelchair… she will be able to Dance and Sing and it won’t be long now… Lorraine may never see a natural death… Jesus may come back for us all. It’s such a marvelous thought that there are no disabilities in heaven. We will be changed just like 1st Corinthians 15:52 says…
“Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last Trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, “Death is swallowed up in victory”.
So perhaps you are not bound by a wheelchair… I can promise you that at times, you feel bound by something. Perhaps it’s emotional bondage… Financial Bondage..Physical Bondage…We all need to have those chains of bondage loosed daily …. how? Through faith and prayer…
May God give you unshakable faith in Christ our Lord~
