Pray this Lazaroo in humbled gratitude:

“…he must bring as his offering for the sin he committed a female goat without defect.”
(Leviticus 4:28)

What about the person who had only one goat to supply milk for his baby, Jesus?

That would have brought home the seriousness of his sin, wouldn’t it?

Just as the thought that out of love for me
You gave Your only Son to pay for the sins I’ve committed

for which huge flocks of goats
could have never atoned.

Pray this Lazaroo in flabbergasted wonder:

“…he browses among the lilies.”
(Song of Songs 2:16)

Solomon’s bride is speaking poetically, Jesus.

Solomon isn’t browsing among actual lilies.
He’s making love to his wife.

Literal language has its place

but it can go only so far.

There are some experiences in life that require poetry.

One of the greatest of those is Your love for me!

When I try to grasp the significance
of how Your perfection can choose me
flaws and all

I go tilt.
