Jesus

I came across this quote from someone last night on a fb forum on chronic illness and I am still shocked and saddened by the lack of love, compassion, hope, and peace this lady lacks and the brutality of her words.

"If your health is so poor and you are barely able to function, how can you expect to have a relationship? Relationships really need 2 people functioning !!!"

You can have a relationship just like any other if Jesus is in the middle. To say something so harsh as you can't and never will find a soul mate based on a physical illness is oh so wrong. I've seen it happen and it can even strengthen the bond between two people as they rely on each other to face every struggle and trial that gets inserted into life. Do I know this for myself? no but I can't count the number of times I have heard and seen this love of Christ transforming hearts and forming love.

There are so many marriages where only one spouse is functioning; whether it is due to physical illness, mental disorders, or any other struggle. There marriage doesn't instantly fall apart due to a tilt in the responsibilities of one or the other person. They trust Jesus and keep on going with the knowledge that God is in control and He will provide what is needed to persevere through these times of life.

Dear quote lady,

The answer to it all is the love of Christ that is more powerful than we even know.
