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!
