Heart Surgery

I am changed by Christ. This is dramatic, if you know me at all.
I have become someone who cares--to the point of genuine sorrow--about another person. I yearn in a deep way for her to bathe herself in the word of God; to know its life changing power. For her to reap the benefits of all that our Father in heaven wants for her in this life. And yet, I have a deep sense that it is simply not going to happen.
God is performing surgery, changing my stony heart to flesh. And it really hurts.
