HEART ATTACK
The world’s having a heart attack.
Panic. Hard to breathe.
Sense of foreboding. Danger of death.
Fear consumes. Phenomenal Grace needed.
Can’t see – eyes are blurring.
Is this the moment – as seconds and minutes become The Time?!

Sirens can be heard everywhere.
Blackout. Shocking into life.
But life starting to turn into a series of images, flashbacks -
a rolling reel of the soul’s history.

‘God – where are You?!
I don’t believe in You but, if You’re real – oh, how I need You now!
I'm in a crisis and the machine's breaking down.
Reconnect me; pump life into me; give me a start-up.
I'll change – I'll do things differently. And listen to You.
Just one more chance – please…
I’m not ready...save me, save me, save me!’
‘He’s cutting loose – can we save him?’

‘Doctor – I can hear you. Can’t speak. But I’m hanging on – HELP. Don’t give up on me!’

Bright light. Incredible radiance.
Overwhelming feeling of love, saturating every part.
Life, being poured into me, like liquid Grace.
Oh, how happy I am – deliriously happy!
Love is here. Love is healing, restoring, renewing; making whole.
Another chance at life! Oh, such peace!

‘He’s a fighter! And coming back – never thought he’d make it.
Well, what a surprise! A shock, really. A miracle – if that’s the word?’

The world’s damaging its valves; furring up its channels with filth,
hate, debris, lies, selfishness, short-sightedness, greed, coldness.
Life blood can’t flow because we invite death into our cells – the very fabric of our being.

True healing is vital: we need Truth; we need pure, warm blood in our starving hearts.
Nutrients of peace, joy, forgiveness, hope, trust, compassion, mercy, charity and love
must be pumped in, or this beating heart, will fail.

We have choices: love or hate; life or death; peace or war; true healing or sticking- plaster surgery; angels or demons; God or the devil?

No choice: choose Life
