Rejoice! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit.”
(Malachi 2:15)

Oh, yes, Jesus!

I belong to You lock, stock and barrel –
body, spirit, soul, mind and heart –

not only because You made me

but because You declared I would be Yours before I was ever born
then called me to Yourself

to which I responded yes! with all my heart
after which You justified me
and are now glorifying me by giving me

Your Great Name!

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Has not the one God made you?”
(Malachi 2:15)

What a mouthful, Jesus!

One God.
You.

My Creator.
You.

Those seven words fill my heart, too!

You planned me, designed me, created me

before You spoke the worlds into existence.

You chose the time when I’d make my appearance on planet earth.

Out of its 197 million square miles

You chose the exact place where I’d be born

to which parents

among which people

speaking which language –

to Your glory!

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“…how evil and bitter it is for you when you forsake the LORD your God…”
(Jeremiah 2:19)

Most of the time it’s not You punishing us, is it, Jesus?

It’s that refusing to obey You
carries its own consequences.

If I’m a liar, people stop trusting me.
If I’m a thief, I’ll end up in jail.
If I’m unfaithful, my spouse may divorce me.

You made me.

You know what causes me to thrive
and what leads to my destruction.

Pray this Lazaroo, in tender response:

“…show me your face…”
(Songs of Songs 2:14)

Solomon made that request of his bride, Jesus

do You make that request of me?

It’s certainly possible.

The Apostle Paul makes it clear that everything written in the past
was put in Your Word to teach us.

So why would You want me to show You my face?

You made me.
You already know what I look like.

Oh.

When I show You my face
I’m intimately focused on You.

Pray this Lazaroo with a bucketful of gratitude:

“…we are God’s workmanship…”
(Ephesians 2:10)

O Jesus!

How can I ever complain about what I am?
I’m Your invention, Your craftsmanship!

Or is that craftsGodship?! 😉

David said it first:

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made…”
Please forgive me for those times when I forget that.

Now, I beg You:

Show me why You’ve made me like this!
Reveal to me Your highest purpose

and enable me to fulfill it
to Your eternal glory.
