My Heart Condition

I have a heart condition. It was diagnosed almost immediately at birth and I have lived with it for all my 50 years of life. Sometimes it has affected me so strongly that it has been crippling. The results of the pain created by this condition has been unbearable at times. There have been times when I saw no hope for healing and as a result suffered from severe depression and discouragement.

This heart condition has affected those around me as well. Family and friends at times have been at a loss as to what to do for me. They feel the sting of my pain simply because they love me, yet; all they can do is watch silently and sadly. They know they are helpless in helping me.

I am in need of a miracle. In fact a miracle and nothing shy of a miracle is my only hope. Where do I go? The Mayo Clinic? No, but I do need a physician, someone who understands my condition much better than I ever could. Where do I find such a Dr.? Where do I find this Great Specialist?
The heart condition I speak of is first of all spiritual. If it was physical, believe me, I would spare no expense in finding the best specialist to address my physical need. When I became aware of my spiritual heart condition at the age of 17 I turned to the ONLY Specialist who could help.....Jesus Christ. Inviting him into my live changed my heart, when he became saviour and lord.....my want to's changed. My self -destructive attitudes transformed into attitudes toward others.

I still am in need of his constant care. I have to call on him all the time and it seems I constantly go to him for check-ups. I still have a tendency to fall down, to self-destruct, to do the wrong thing. But it's ok, because this weakness I live with keeps me in constant contact with my Dr. and I am getting to know him better and better all the time. I like that. I realize that if I could do it all myself I never would have gotten to know this wonderful Physician, I would never had known my condition and my need for him.

According to the Bible, you, like me, have a heart condition....why not give your heart to the only Dr. who can help. Give your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ today. The first and most important step of recovery.

"Then Jesus called to the crowd to come and hear, 'All of you listen,' he said, 'and try to understand. It's not what goes into your body that defiles you, you are defiled by what comes out of your heart'.........for from within, out of a person's heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. All these vile things come from within, they are what defile you."
-Mk. 7:14,15,20-23 NLT
