Pray this Lazaroo with lavish love:

“Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,’ and, ‘A stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.’”
(1 Peter 2:7)

You’re that Stone, Jesus!

It’s unthinkable to me that anyone rejected You then

or can reject You now.

But You know those who are Yours.

I don’t know why You’ve chosen me
but I am grateful beyond all words!

Pray this Lazaroo in appreciative wonder:

“May I continue to find favor in your eyes, my lord,” she said. “You have put me at ease by speaking kindly to your servant—though I do not have the standing of one of your servants.”
(Ruth 2:13)

Hope. Gratitude. Humility.

No wonder You chose this woman
to be Your great-great-many times removed grandmother, Jesus!

She wasn’t even a Jew.

She was one of the hated Moabites!

No matter.

You chose her!

Just as You have chosen me.

Pray this Lazaroo in humbled gratitude:

“God chose you to be saved…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:13)

It wasn’t up to me, was it, Jesus?

Before I could choose You
You had to choose me.

If You hadn’t chosen me
I wouldn’t have wanted to choose You.

That’s unthinkable, now.

I’m so thankful I’ve chosen You!
It seems like such a no-brainer!

But that absolutely explains why it’s not a no-brainer for the majority of people on earth.

Wow.
I’m one of the few.
I’m chosen!

Pray this Lazaroo with all your might:

“God chose you…”
(2 Thessalonians 2:13)

Are there any sweeter words in any language, Jesus?

You chose me!

Me! Unworthy, sin-stained, fault-ridden, inconsistent, sad sack me!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

This must stun all of heaven.

The angels’ jaws have to drop.
Satan must be blinking in disbelief, baffled.

But not as baffled as I…nor those who know me.

Every time we lift Your Name in worship

The loudest praise

should be mine.

Pray this Lazaroo in mind-blown love:

“…God destined for our glory before time began.”
(1 Corinthians 2:7)

You’re talking about secret wisdom, Jesus –

a wisdom that had long been hidden.

I can’t begin to imagine the magnitude of that statement!

Before I was born…before anyone was born
before You created the heavens and earth

You knew me
loved me
chose me

laid specific, amazing plans for the days You’ve allotted to me

to walk this earth…

then explore the vast reaches of Your creation

forever!

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest gratitude:

“Finding Philip, he said to him, ‘Follow me.’”
(John 1:43)

You deliberately left Galilee to find Phillip, Jesus

just like You deliberately chose, called and saved me.

There was nothing in my sinful human nature that would have chosen You

until You chose me.

Only then did I begin to grasp that You love me so much

that You went to the cross to pay for my sins

then rose from the dead

so we could be together

forever.
