Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with deep reverence:
“I am writing you a new command…”
(1 John 2:8)
I don’t deserve the honor of a new command, Jesus.
I haven’t yet obeyed all the old ones.
In fact, justice demands that I never hear another word from You until I’ve acted on what You’ve already revealed to me.
But Your mercy
triumphs over judgment.
You really love me, don’t You?
in spite of all my sins, flops and failures.
I guess some would object that You’re spoiling me
but they’re wrong.
Your unfailing love draws me to You more powerfully than words can express.
