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.
