Heart Surgery

February was a bit of a blur to me. You see, I had heart surgery at the beginning of month and spent the next 4 weeks recovering (1 in the hospital). In fact, I am still recovering.









So, while I was unable to do much over the past 5 weeks, I had a lot of time to think. Here are my thoughts.

Heart surgery is very painful - so is the recovery. I still have pain. But, on the positive side, thus far it seems that my heart problems were all fixed :) My pain = hopefully lifelong healing. At the very least I no longer have a hole in my heart and that is fixed forever!

With this in mind, I'm thinking God can do heart surgery much better than a heart surgeon. So...why won't we (myself included) let him do just this?

Why won't we let Him transform our hearts - molding it to His likeliness?

Why won't we put our hearts in His hands, yet we'll put it in the hands of a human surgeon.

Yes it will be painful. It may even be painful for a long time. But pain is part of the recovery to renewal. This pain would give us a guaranteed lifelong healing. It would change our lives' forever!

If a surgeon can bring physical healing to a heart and change a life for the better then how much more can God do if we let Him do surgery on our hearts.

The Book

The Bible is not for learning all the rules.

It is for simply learning who God is.

It is for us to know Him.


I believe He desires for us to read It with eagerness so that we may develop a more intimate relationship with Him.

The Bible is God's love letter to us. We should be reading it with as much zeal as we would read a letter from our human love.
