Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:
“I will pay it back…”
(Philemon 1:19)
That was a generous offer, Jesus
seeing as how it was a debt Paul didn’t owe.
It takes love to pay off someone else’s debt –
especially when the cost is great.
You should know
since that’s what You did on the cross for me.
Help me remember that incredible gift
next time I’m tempted to demand payment in full
from somebody who owes me.
Freely I’ve received
freely You expect me to give.
