My church member had an accident
She fell and broke her spine
Now she is stuck in an electric wheelchair, using 24/7 helper to survive
She wanted to give up her life
She thought that she was a burden to family and friends
I see her every month
I ask her questions, “Who are you?”
This current form does not define her
This immobility does not describe her
This handicap situation does not restrict her
Just find your God given image
Then I ask her how her youth was
How her motherhood was
How her marriage life was
And she realized that she had never been in a one same form
She has had many different outlooks constantly
Now this is just one of those many changing forms
So, who are you?
A cancer patient?
An elderly weak person?
A pastor of a small dying congregation?
Is that really you?
A divorcee who is lonely?
A mother who cannot help her children in whatsoever ways?
Is that really you?
You are the one the Creator loves
You are the one the Redeemer dies for
You are the one the Spirit is living with
So, Who are you?
