Matters of the Heart (part 2)

Circumcision. This involves the most tenderest and delicate of care,
for it involves some very private parts that have much emotion, self worth,
and a host of other feelings attached.

Circumcision of the Heart. Hmm, it is the same!
The cutting away of fleshy parts to keep disease and sickness out.
To mark and consecrate and set apart your very being for the Lord.

What matters to our hearts matters to Him.
And so He comes to circumcise and cut out the infection, clean the wounds,
cut away the excess, remove what will impede and block and choke...
to make tender and pliable again what has grown cold and stiff-perhaps from injury.

He comes with Healing in His wings, with a Song for the Wounded,
with Hope for tomorrow, Peace for right Now and Wisdom for everyone who asks...

And He whispers to our Hearts..lean in close to hear; whispers of Love, whispers of Grace,
Whispers to take us to that new place. The slightest whisper from His lips will put all to right,
will cause us to see things in a brand new light. Come Lord, whisper my name... draw me to yourself... cut away those things in my heart, until only You remain.
