| THE LITTLE BOYS HEART |
| "Tomorrow morning", said the surgeon, "I'll open up your heart".... "You'll find Jesus there", the boy interrupted. The surgeon looked up, annoyed. He said, "I'll cut your heart open to see how much damage has been done".... "But, when you open up my heart, you'll find Jesus in there". 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 will 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 surgeory, "damaged aorta....damaged pulmonary vein........widespread muscle degeneration.....No hope for transplant. No hope for cure". Therapy: Pain killers 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 out loud. "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 my flock and will forever be". "Here, in my flock, he will feel no pain, and will be comforted as you can't imagine. His parents will one day join him here, and they will know peace and my flock will continue to grow" The surgeons 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", replied the surgeon. Author: Anonymous |
