WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29,1i980, PAGE 19 The remalking of the human heart CONT'D FROM PC. 16 fuses in the nerve centre and I have nothing left to push. For- tunately, an alarm rings and a maintenance crew cornes run- ning. I do have constant access to adrenalin by which I can induce emergency measures, make the old pump beat faster and cal up a special brand of courage. Sometinies, because I arn 'at heart" loyal to Joe, I interrupt one of my parties and flush out the deviish spirits, if 1 can, and let Joe stand up to bis full height and try to recapture his dignity. When the evil spirits refuse to leave or Joe's computer overrules my orders, I arn restricted to a mixture of fear, cowardlce and humility. I con- feas that this bad-tasting stuff has sornetinies saved Joe frorn disaster. I have become entranced with the heart of one of Joe's friends. She jams ail the circuits and i find myself inflating rapidly witJh love. I suppose this la good and natural, even though Joe's mind warns me about losing my freedom and in- dependence. One of Joe's friends bas had bis heart deflated, thoroughly cleaned and put under the control of-the Powerful Spirit. At this moment Joe is thinking about what happend to bis friend, and facts and influences about the great Spirit called God are being fed into Joe's cemrputer. I can see it comming - Joe wiil make two decisions that will revolutionize my life. He will get married and have a radical spiritual change. And I will have the job of flushlng out the idrt and guarding the doors against ail my old cronies. That it shouid corne to this!1 lil need helpi1 In my "heart of hearts" I ar n ot happy about my past life, the company I kept and the tantrumns I threw. 1 would sin- cerely welcome the presence of the great and good Spirit of God ini the control of Joe's life, especially if he's going to get married. Ail of us - niind, organs, limbs, glands, systems - wiil be much better for this more responsible and accountabie way of 111e. I'm tired of sweiling up, feeling good about destructive situations, then deflating and feeling fiat. Recently I have been on the point of bursting - cail it a "heartbreak". Joe's ladyfriend ahnost gave him up because of bis habits. I did not know where to turn. It's strange for me to think humbly of myseif and yet look forward to the prospect of a more permanent happiness. Strange to think of myseif as being created, yes and re-created now, by God's Spirit. Does that mean 1 can be divine? Imagine Joe giving me - his hea rt - to God!1 G,'od took a body and gave His heart to it in Jesus Christ. The experts can adjust ail kinds of things in life. Oniy Christ can remake hearts and keep them forever. D.
