Mamob's Journal

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 find 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 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," said the surgeon.
