But cancer ( Ezekiel 36 v 26 - 28 )

                             There are two songs that I know which starts
                             with the words,'' Soften my heart''. Jesus spoke
                             of the hardness of the heart .  (Matthew 19 v 8)
                             There are  many reasons why our hearts become
                             hard, consumed by hatred , unforgiveness, lack
                             of  love, etc. whatever the reason, the result is
                             hardness of  heart. A lady who was successfully
                             treated for cancer ,said this,'' Cancer has chipped 
                             away at my armour, and softened me''. What will
                             it take to soften  us?, cancer?, one thing for sure
                             God wants to  deal with us, hard hearted people.

                                                    Ezekiel 36 v 26.
                             I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in
                             you; I will remove from you a heart of stone and
                             give you a heart of flesh.
