Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.”
(1 Corinthians 2:12)

So, Jesus:

You’re telling me that people who have only the spirit of the world
can’t understand what You’ve freely given those who trust You.

That makes sense.

It also explains the blank stares I get from those tied to this world

when I tell them about You.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepened understanding:

“But after Ahab died, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.”
(2 Kings 3:5)

When someone is forced, Jesus

it never lasts.

First chance they get to skedaddle – BOOM! They’re gone.

Free will is messy, uncontrollable, sometimes takes forever

but when freely given, at least has a chance

to survive the hard blows of life.

You could force every last one of us to bow before You

but if You did
it wouldn’t mean a thing.

Pray this Lazaroo with bulldog faith:

“You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your sins.”
(Amos 3:2)

What a vital reminder, Jesus!

With great blessing
comes proportionate responsibility.

Of those who’ve been given much
much will be demanded.

Of course, You shouldn’t have to demand it.

With gratitude, it should be freely given.

I’ve been blessed with more than I can begin to comprehend!

How dare I give You less
than my all?
