There is an episode of Grey's Anatomy where a Cardiothoracic surgeon takes a heart apart, removes a tumor and puts the heart back together again. They called it a "Humpty Dumpty surgery". Seems fitting. Take a heart apart and put it back together again. The heart can handle a lot and while it is a risky surgery and there is a huge chance you will die. But without it you are sure to die.
I feel like everyone meets moments like this. This year was mine. I tried to find my own fulfillment in a relationship. And found myself with a broken heart that needed to be put back together again. Love and life don't always work out as you may want it to. I found I needed to remove the parts of my heart that were like that tumor.
But How do you put your heart back together again? In this metaphor God is my Cardiothoracic surgeon. This time instead of putting my heart in the hands of a supposed loved one, I've decided to put my heart in the hands of God. In church today we talked about trying to find fulfillment in things we think will fulfill us. Only to discover we find frustration and anger in the lack of fulfillment we receive. I am tired... down right exhausted. I am done trying to repair my own heart.
God will not only fill that empty space where once a tumor was, but He will also put our hearts back together again so that the life we live is one that will be completely fulfilled.
