"Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart." What a shockingly powerful image. If your heart were totally unprotected to whom would you trust it?

Deuteronomy 10:14-22

Behold, to the Lord your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth with all that is in it.

Marina Agapova
Yet the Lord set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day. 

Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer stubborn.

For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe.

He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing.

Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

You shall fear the Lord your God. You shall serve him and hold fast to him, and by his name you shall swear.

He is your praise. He is your God, who has done for you these great and terrifying things that your eyes have seen.

Your fathers went down to Egypt seventy persons, and now the Lord your God has made you as numerous as the stars of heaven.
