Endless hope makes the heart sick; a fulfilled wish brings new joy to life. The Bible (Proverbs 13:12) There is only one remedy for the loss of hope. Dutch Sheets' brother witnessed how doctors stopped a patient's heart during an open-heart procedure. However, at the end of the operation, they were unable to restart the heart. Although the patient was clearly unconscious, the surgeon leaned over him and whispered in his ear: "We need your help. We can't get your heart to beat. Command your heart to beat again." As incredible as it sounds, the patient's heart immediately began to beat. Disappointments, or unfulfilled or destroyed hopes and wishes, can make our hearts emotionally or spiritually sick just like physical illnesses, according to the Bible.
