HEART SURGERY
September, 23rd 2017 11:02am

I know things have happened to your heart that you didn't like. I know things
have happened to this center of your well being that you didn't ask for or agree
with. Lord knows things have happened to this decision making tool; you wish you
could UNDO.

My heart's been there. Neglected. Rejected. Unhugged. Battered and bruised. Used
and abused, then thrown out. Trampled on. Never told "You have value." It has only
been tricked, blind-sided, stabbed in the back. Manipulated, Lied too and lied on,
unfriended.

This left me with feelings of never feeling LOVED (Oh how it yearns to LOVE and
be LOVED)

Seeing how, I by nature, wear my heart on my sleeve, thought I would always be
forced to go through life- HARD HEARTED. Making choices with my sketchy emotions.
The result of having my heart ripped off my lanky hot dog arms. Other times this red
blooded organ was used by professional victimizers as a punching bag.

Sadly, in due time I found myself returning the favor. Involuntarily men and women
were shaved in the ring and used as sparing partners.

Knowing "this wasn't me" I never had peace with said behavior, yet I continued to
engage in it as a way to prevent others from further damaging my super fragile
heart. I promised to like this contradictory lifestyle forever but after accepting God's friend
request, things began to change. Not immediately but progressively, as I became
acutely aware of one of the most over looked promises this friend of mine ever
wrote:

Ezekiel 36:25-26
"Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you and you shall be clean: from all your
filthiness and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A NEW HEART also will I
give you and a new spirit will I put within you and I will take away the stony
HEART out of your flesh and I will give you a HEART of flesh

HEART SURGERY
September 23rd... continued

Ever true to his word, God has removed my more than twice broken heart. He's
replaced it with a NEW HEART. One that could LOVE (again), Trust (and be trusted)
most importantly does not fear being LOVED. No longer am I afraid to "put
myself out there".

God wants to do the same for you: Remove your shattered broken HEART and replace it
with a NEW one (HEART)

If your up for this HEART SURGERY. I encourage you to "put yourself out there"
'Accept his friend request' (Don't worry it's nothing like the movie. I promise.
AMEN

Then let God kiss your HEART...
He wants to
P.S May your HEART be BORN AGAIN

Additional words from my Friend...
Proverbs 18:24... And there is a Friend
that sticks closer than a brother.

God help them to be whole, to read my handwriting...?

Jeremiah 24:7
I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord.
They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they
will return to me with all their heart.

Jeremiah 31:3
The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:
I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.

Ezekiel 11:17
“Therefore say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
I will gather you from the nations and bring you back
from the countries where you have been scattered,
and I will give you back the land of Israel again.’

Luke 8:15
But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble
and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by
persevering produce a crop.

Hebrews 10:22
let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with
the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts
sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and
having our bodies washed with pure water.

Hebrews 10:4
It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

GOD BLESS
