Being

As I went on a walk with my crutches the other day, in this Spring-like weather, God gave me a new revelation about His love for me. I came to notice that my "condition" of being helpless and weak by having to rely on crutches to walk, and praying through every breath I take so as not to induce any pain on my hip. When I do simple tasks, such as getting dressed or preparing food, I have taken for granted how easily these behaviors were. I sped through them in order to get to the "next thing I had to do". Certainly, the simple and mundane is not "significant" enough to spend much time on. However, my thoughts on the simple tasks have changed, now that I must depend on others to help me carry things, and I go much slower than I used to; having to make changes in the way I adapt the task at hand to my limited mobility. This is when God reveals to me how precious I am to Him. I feel like a child, who cannot do anything for herself; and that is how God wants me to be with Him. I am to be like His child, solely dependent on His loving- kindness for stability and strength. Thank you so much Jesus that I need is you.  In you, I live a move and have my being...
