We are not all equally strong. Our resources wax and wane. We may lose our eyesight, or our legs, or our memory. This is where covenants are at their best- where I am strong, I care for you, where you are strong you care for me. It is never about who has more or who has less. It is not about equality, it is about love and commitment. A contract says, “lets split it down the middle.” A covenant says, “Everything I am and have is to benefit you.”
