The Heart---

"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 fin d 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 hi s
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." YOU!

The surgeon wept.. The surgeon sat
beside the boy's bed; the boy's
parents sat across from hi m. 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 ," said the surgeon

-This is a good message. There is only one thing to disagree with... God
never brings bad things upon us. He does work to touch each of our hearts
and turns around and uses each of us to bring the ones we know to God. What
I do know is through Jesus Christ this child could be healed. It would be
miraculous
divine healing that we could not explain. When we get together
and lay hand on the sick in prayer, we can have these prayers answered
because Jesus died for more than our sins. He died to heal our hurt as well.
He took that all into himself so that we did not have to suffer. Thank you,
Jesus!
