HOLE IN THE HEART
Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. I John 4:16
For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so
that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal
life. John 3:16
Hole in the Heart
The tree was smack in the middle of downtown surrounded by a lot of
concrete, stores, and cars, with roots going down into a tiny patch of
dirt by the street.
Right in the middle of the trunk was a hole. The hole apparently was
made by a branch growing back around grafting itself into the main
tree trunk.
The tree seemed healthy. Its leaves were shiny with a vibrant deep
green hue. It looked good. It functioned as a bit of shade-giver and
was growing fine. Everything about seemed to be normal.
Except that it still had the hole in its center.
Sometimes we walk around with holes in our hearts. We look good, we
carry on day-to-day, and the hole goes undetected by anyone. But
sometimes we are aware that it is still there.
This Easter we remember how Jesus demonstrated the love of God towards
us all. He came to restore us to our relationship with God, and He
came to heal...including holes in our hearts.
His love will heal your heart when He touches you with His love. He
not only can do that, but is more than willing to.
God is love.
That is good news.
