...Is what I told three different friends of mine, on three different occasions in the past week or two. Cancer of the heart. Sin in the heart. They each had various problems, such as not being able to find time for God, or not feeling an obligation to read the Bible but not believing it would make a whole lot of difference. Those were not their problems, however. Sin is.

The only way to get it out is open heart surgery. Painful. But God only wounds us so that he can heal us. He only cuts so that he can heal and make us whole. In the same way that doctors don't demand to cut out veins or whatever it is they do in people, perhaps God is the same way. Doctors don't demand you come to them, you come to them and demand they take cancer out. And, you expect it to not come back, with the doctor's assurance, of course.

So, why do we let sin reign in our mortal bodies? good question...
