Housebound, shut-in, homebound…all three terms are used to describe a person confined to their home because of a disability, limited mobility, or chronic illness. They rarely leave their home and then require the assistance of another person and/or medical device such as a wheelchair or walker. For many, this causes isolation, depression, and the feeling of being a prisoner in their own home…because, in a way, they are. Not surprisingly, this condition can also affect the caregiver who cannot safely leave their loved one alone. But just because a person is homebound, it doesn’t mean their heart & soul can’t be free. The prophet Isaiah foretold of the Messiah in Isaiah 61:1… that Jesus would proclaim freedom for the captives…setting them free from bondage so they might experience liberty & freedom in Christ.
