THE HEART
Please send this back but only if
you mean it!
Tomorrow morning," the surgeon began, "I'll open up
your heart..."
You'll find Jesus there," the boy
interrupted. The surgeon looked up, annoyed "I'll cut your heart
open," he continued, to see how much damage has been
done..." "But when you open up my heart, you'll find Jesus in
there," said the boy. The surgeon looked to the
parents, who sat quietly. "When I see how much damage has been
done, I'll sew your heart and chest back
up, and I'll plan what to do next." But you'll
find Jesus in my heart. The Bible says He lives there.
The hymns
all say He lives there. You'll find Him in my heart." The surgeon
had had enough. "I'll tell you what I'll find in your
heart. I'll find damaged muscle, low blood supply, and
weakened vessels. And I'll find out if I can make you
well." You'll find Jesus there too. He lives there."
The surgeon
left. The surgeon sat in his office, recording his notes from
the surgery, "...damaged aorta, damaged pulmonary vein, widespread
muscle degeneration. No hope for transplant, no hope for cure.
Therapy painkillers and bed rest. Prognosis:, " here he paused,
"death within one year." He stopped the recorder, but
there was more to be said. "Why?" he asked aloud. "Why
did You do this? You've put him here; You've put him
in this pain; and You've cursed him to an early death. Why?"
The Lord answered and said, "The boy, My lamb, was not
meant for your flock for long, for he is a part of My
flock, and will forever be. Here, in My flock, he
will feel no pain, and will be comforted as you cannot
imagine. His parents will one day join him here, and they
will know peace, and My flock will continue to grow." The
surgeon's tears were hot, but his anger was hotter. "You created
that boy, and You created that heart. He'll be dead in months.
Why?" The Lord answered, "The boy, My lamb, shall return to My
flock, for He has Done his duty: I did not put My lamb
with your flock to lose him, but to retrieve another lost
lamb." The surgeon wept. The surgeon sat beside the boy's bed;
the boy's parents sat across from him. The boy awoke and
whispered, "Did you cut open my heart?" "Yes," said
the surgeon. "What did you find?" asked the boy. "I found Jesus
there," said the surgeon.

If
you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the
directions listed below: Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I
will be ashamed of you before my Father.." I Am Not Ashamed.
Pass this on only if you mean it.
Yes, I do Love God. He is my
source of existence and Savior.
He keeps me functioning each
and everyday. Without Him, I will be nothing.
Without him I am
nothing, but with Him I can do all things through
Christ that strengthens me."
Phil 4:13)
This is the simplest
test. If you Love God, and are not
ashamed of all the marvelous things he has done for you.
Send this to ten people and the person who sent it to
you!
