Evangelist Kelvin wrote:
“We have so many pastors with healing grace in this country, why have you not taken your child to one of them? What God cannot do does not exist.”
Jodie responded:
“Mephibosheth, Grandson of King Saul and son of Jonathan, Mephibosheth was disabled in both feet. Despite his disability, King David showed him kindness and allowed him to eat at his table for the rest of his life. LEARN TO BE KIND.”
The single mother added:
“It is important for people to understand that words can cause negative ripple effects. Not every blind will see or lame walk and their mothers should not be blamed for that.”
