Heart Extracted

Strangely enough, Last of the Mohicans grabbed my mind today with an intense parallel that I see for a dear friend of mine..for those who don't know, Last of the Mohicans is, in my opinion, one of the best movies I have ever seen..reasons are plenty, but a vivid and heart-pumping soundtrack is one of them. In one of the scenes, the main bad dude takes it upon himself to grab the beating heart out of one of the soldiers..this scene was intense, to say the least, but has spoken to the depths of my heart.
The Lord our God is a mighty God, jealous for those whom He loves, and aching to know more of His people...to the very core of who we are..I have been quite impassioned as of late with His love, His healing, His provision, and His glory! And this passion ignites the quintessence of my being like a tsunami, a violent storm..I saw the Lord reaching into Your cavity, seizing your heart..the beating, the blood, the beauty..and He, with grace and breathlessness, brought it to His breast and held it there. With eyes closed, serenity upon His face, and fear upon yours, it was all as it should be. Redemption, reemergence, complete renewal..you were desperatly reaching out for it with sweat, tremors across your body..you wanted it back, you wanted it to be as you desired..but the King knew better..your heart in His hands, your life almost dead..oh what glory was to behold, as the Savior with unveiled face reached down and placed His heart into yours..and you thought it was gone..well it is..but you now have a new heart that pulses with the rhythm of Christ Himself, you have been made new, you stand up and you shout because you have been saved..glory, peace, vivacity, intensity..you never thought it could be this good..and the Savior of the Universe pulls you into His majesty and whispers.."You have my heart within you now, run with a new heart that beats, that dances, that sings with purity, life, peace, and grace!" You cannot hold it in..you gasp, you sob, and then you fly with renewed wings like the eagles..You scream, "I am free, truly free!"
