The phrase circumcise your heart must have been deliberate, and it includes a great deal of meaning to a culture who so ritualistically practiced actual circumcision. To circumcise your heart, as an analogy, clearly means to cut away parts of you that are very dear to you. I cannot imagine undergoing circumcision as an adult, but to think of that process and then to recognize that it is only a type or a shadow of the real circumcision that we each must go through is quite humbling. Are we each ready to cut away those parts of our heart that we hold dear, no matter how painful the process is?
