THE HEART SURGEON

There have been times where my heart was filled with unforgiveness and anger. I can remember one point of my life, where I was tired of getting hurt and being disappointed by people and circumstances - it felt so easy to be angry, distant and unforgiving. Maybe in my subconscious mind, I figured it was helping me. For some reason, I thought it was a way to save myself from being hurt again. But the more I was angry and unforgiving, it was so hard for me to let go.
Just like a clogged artery, my unforgiveness and anger were becoming barriers between me and God. It was difficult for me to connect with God and for Him to use me to connect to others. I was extremely wrapped up in my feelings that I couldn't even find the strength to let go and forgive.
I was on the verge of exploding like a heart attack.
One day, I finally stopped being stubborn and simply asked God for help. In that moment, the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and revealed to me that I had a choice to remain in unforgiveness or choose to forgive.
I was mindful that unforgiveness and anger were affecting my life emotionally, mentally and physically. Most importantly, I was allowing my negative emotions to affect my life spiritually, and it was not worth jeopardizing my relationship with God.
So in that moment, The Holy Spirit gave me the strength and courage to surrender my broken heart to God. I accepted the invitation to let go. In exchange, He softened up my heart, and I was able to release all the pain and anger through tears. In seconds, I was filled with Gods' unconditional love, grace and forgiveness.
The Holy Spirit is my heart surgeon.
The Holy Spirit is usually forgotten and left out of the equation, but without Him we cannot live out our God given purpose. Without Him, we cannot begin to understand our Father in Heaven and who we are in Him.
Without the Holy Spirit, all we have is religion.
The Holy Spirit calls us into a relationship with Jesus and Our Father, God. Therefore, the intimacy of the Holy Spirit should be our goal each day.
He gives us the supernatural power to get through this life and to transform our hearts to be more like Jesus - which should be our ultimate life goal.
He is our Heart Surgeon.
