Go to school as you pray this Lazaroo:

“How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume more than any spice! Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride; milk and honey are under your tongue. The fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.”
(Song of Songs 4:10-11)

Such over-the-top language may embarrass us, Jesus.

But unless I miss my guess

Solomon’s Shulammite bride
loved every word of it!

Pray this Lazaroo in total amazement:

“The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.”
(Genesis 3:21)

Humanly speaking, this is incomprehensible, Jesus.

Adam and Eve knowingly, deliberately, blatantly disobey You.
As a result, they discover they’re naked.

Of course, there are consequences:

They have to leave the Garden of Eden.
Work and childbirth become harder, more painful.

But instead of abandoning them

You clothe them!

O God! Your loving mercy is unfathomable!

…which is why I’m still drawing a breath on this earth.

Pray this Lazaroo with absolute sincerity:

“Rend your heart and not your garments.”
(Joel 2:13)

That had become the custom, hadn’t it, Jesus –

tearing their clothes upon hearing of something disastrous.

When that custom first began, it was no doubt powerful

because it came straight from the heart.

But over the years, people began doing it because it was expected

even when it didn’t truly touch their hearts.

O God! I know what You want!

Not merely my outward behavior.

In repentance…

You want my heart.
