Heart Surgery

Luke 2:25-35

25Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, 28Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:
29"Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,
you now dismiss[a] your servant in peace.
30For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31which you have prepared in the sight of all people,
32a light for revelation to the Gentiles
and for glory to your people Israel."

33The child's father and mother marveled at what was said about him. 34Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: "This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, 35so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too."

Bee's Thoughts:

Search me, O God
And know my heart today
Try me O Saviour
Know my thoughts I pray

See if there be
Some wicked ways in me
Cleanse me from every sin
And set me free

Yes, Lord, You are the one who can reveal our inner thoughts and know our deceitful heart. Very often we don't even know our own heart and we don't know what we want or need. Only You can show us our heart's condition.
I can feel the pain and sorrow in my heart... I feel sick, and in need of a 'heart surgery' by You. As I lie down to sleep tonight, please do that 'operation' on my heart and give me a new heart that's pure. Change my heart, O, Lord.
In Jesus' name I plea. Amen
