Pray this Lazaroo with sacrificial love:

“The watchmen found me as they made their rounds in the city. They beat me, they bruised me; they took away my cloak, those watchmen of the walls! Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you—if you find my beloved, what will you tell him? Tell him I am faint with love.”
(Song of Songs 5:7-8)

Would I do that for You, Jesus –

endure beating, bruising, abuse because of my love for You?

I’d better!

because that’s what You did because of Your love for me.

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, ‘He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.’ So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: ‘How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.’”
(Mark 3:22-24)

No one can make that charge against You, Jesus

nor any other.

Not only did you put them in their place

You taught us an invaluable truth for all time.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“The angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua: ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: “If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.”’”
(Zechariah 3:6-7)

You love doing this for us, Jesus –

giving us huge incentive to honor You.

Cause Your holy passion to rise within my soul

to become everything You’ve created me to be!

Pray this Lazaroo with profound gratitude:

“Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.”
(Song of Songs 3:5)

It sounds like Solomon’s wife may have learned the hard way, Jesus:

Don’t force it.

Or even better:

You can’t force it!

True love is a choice.

Which is why I’m thrilled to realize:

You chose to love me!

which is why with all my heart:

I choose to love You!
