Surgery

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: I know of a woman who found herself seated next to her husband at a marriage retreat, making a mental list of all the ways he needed to change.

Then, unexpectedly, the Spirit of God started to do some supernatural surgery in her heart.

Woman: “God started peeling back the layers of my heart. There was bitterness, hate, rebellion, and an underlying pride that affected everything.”

Nancy: In that moment, this woman chose brokenness. She asked God to forgive her. And then she discovered that brokenness brings blessedness. Jesus said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit” (Matt. 5:3).

As you think about a difficult relationship you may be in, are you sitting back waiting for the other person to change? Could there be some spiritual surgery needed in your own heart? Are you willing to let God show you your needs and change you?
