Healing Without Depth

"I am not interested in healing the surface of your heart
while leaving deadly cancers alive and thriving within.
Yes, it is My great desire to heal and renew your heart,
but it is not My desire to ignore darkness within it,
nor to marginalize its idols and destructive desires.

I will not allow greed, nor injustice, nor self-centeredness,
nor glorying in nationalism, nor faith in 'righteous' violence,
nor cold love towards neighbors and enemies,
nor will I allow any other cancerous root
to live and grow in your heart uncontested.

I will not allow these strongholds of Satan to thrive—
not merely because of the transgression of the law of My Son,
nor only because of the abusive fruits that cause others to suffer.
But I will also expose them because I care about you, My beloved!
I do not want your heart to rot from the inside out."
