"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." YOU!

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

If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the direction listed below:

Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my
Father.."

I Am Not Ashamed. Pass this on only if you mean it.

"Yes, I do Love God. He is my source of existence and Savior. He keeps me
functioning each and everyday.

Without Him, I will be nothing .
Without him, I am nothing,
but with Him I can do all things
through Christ that strengthens me."
(Phil 4:13)

This is t he simplest test. If you Love
God, and are not ashamed of all the
marvelous things he has done for you.
Send this to ten people and the
person who sent it to you

What you feel only matters to you...
It's what you do to the ones you love that really matters
