Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…remember that at that time you were…foreigners to the covenants of the promise…”
(Ephesians 2:12)

I love the way You put this, Jesus

because through it, You’re teaching me so much!

“…at that time” means:

It’s no longer the case!

I’m no longer a foreigner to Your covenants of the promise!

“remember” means:

It’s vital that I always remember
where I’ve come from
and how far You’ve brought me.

I – once an undeserving outsider –

am now part of Your Forever Family.

Pray this Lazaroo in bottomless trust:

“But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?”
(Luke 1:43)

What a stunning statement, Jesus!

Elizabeth, an older woman, sees Mary coming to her –
a pregnant out-of-wedlock teenager.

What does she call Mary?

“The mother of my Lord!”

In that instant, You revealed to Elizabeth that You were the baby in Mary’s womb!

May I respond with joy and reverence when You send to me

the members of Your forever family.

Pray this Lazaroo with outrageous adoration:

“My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ…”
(James 2:1)

This is about as clear as You could possibly make it, Jesus:

If someone believes in You
they’re family.

They’re as much my brother and my sister

as though we shared the same biological mom and dad.

On second thought, they’re even more.

As good as natural parents can possibly be
none of them can match You.

My truest family

is the one that lasts
forever.

Pray this Lazaroo in boundless gratitude:

“You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth…”
(Amos 3:2)

What an honor for the descendants of Abraham, Father!

You passed over nations much more numerous
far more powerful
more famous.

Why?

Because You knew Abraham would do what You told him to do
and pass it on to those after him.

Jesus, thank You for what you did on the cross

to make me – as unworthy as I am –
a member of this amazing family!
