Stitches in my heart

Last night I got to talk to my sweet friend from Texas. Her son had open heart surgery when he was just 4 days old. He is doing remarkably well! We were talking about sweet Preston and she said that he has about 100 stitches in his little heart. I cannot even comprehend this information.

When we got off the phone I cried in praise for the recovery he has made. God is so good. The last week or so I have really been struggling with certain areas of my life. As I cried, the Lord asked me to really open up and talk to Him about the stitches on my own heart. I learned a long time ago that it was easy for me to just put a stitch in my heart and keep going. I have just learned recently that you can only live wholly and fully if you allow Christ to completely heal your heart. So last night I began to ask for healing….no more stitching my own hurts. I will take all my ugliness and brokenness straight to the cross where His life can replace all that should not be. I love you each so much and I pray that this day you will let God heal your hurts. No matter how old your stitches may be, there is still time to be healed by His everlasting touch…
