"Heart Cataract" My mother-in-law recently had to have cataract surgery. I am sure that this is something that you yourself or someone that you know have experienced. I "googled" the definition of cataract from the Oxford Languages Dictionary and for those who may not know what it is...it is a medical condition in which the lens of the eye becomes progressively opaque (not transparent) resulting in blurred vision. This clouding can cause hazy or less colorful vision. If you think about it, these cataracts began in the Garden of Eden- not of the eyes though but of the heart. Throughout generations upon generations, sin progressively caused God's word and promises to become not transparent, resulting in a blurry heart. It would rob us of the clarity of seeing others and this world as God had first intended. Since surgery is not an option for this heart cataract condition, God sent the Great Physician, His Son, to experience all of the joy, hurt, sadness, wonder and temptations that this world and it's people have to offer. And then Good Friday happened. The cataract went from just being cloudy to complete darkness when Jesus was hung and died on that rugged cross on Golgotha. Just when we thought our hearts would be blinded by our sin and darkness, the Son, on that brilliant Easter morning, would clear that heart cataract allowing us to "see" the hope, the peace, the joy and all of the love that God has for each of us through His Son. One of the best ways that I know to keep your heart from becoming opaque is to pick up and read your Bible. In it, you will find the Light of God's promises needed to shine in your heart because sometimes this world can be a pretty dark place. Blessings Psalm 51:10 "Create a clean heart in me, O God and renew a right spirit within me."
