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 livesthere. 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, lamb of my flock, was not meant for
your flock for long, for he is 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
