Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.”
(Romans 2:7-8)

Persistence is the key, isn’t it, Jesus?

An occasional good or bad deed doesn’t tell the whole story.

What I do or don’t do doesn’t save me.

But my behavior over time reveals

whether or not I’m saved.

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

“…he cannot disown himself.”
(2 Timothy 2:13)

Do I deserve to be kicked out of Your Church, Jesus?

Yes.
You’re perfect and I’m not.

Do I deserve to be excluded from heaven?

Yes.
You’re sinless.
I’m sinful.

Do I deserve to spend eternity in hell?

Absolutely.
I have knowingly, premeditatedly sinned.
Many times.

But I remain in Your Church. I’m going to heaven, not hell!

I put my trust in You alone.

You and I
are joined at the heart.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“…you have brought your father and mother, your brothers and all your family into your house.”
(Joshua 2:18)

That’s my priority, isn’t it, Jesus?

Do everything I can to make sure everybody in my family
is in Your house.

Of course, the older they get

the less control I have.

There comes a day when control is gone

and all I have is influence.

Well…that’s not exactly true, is it?

I have You.

I can fall on my face and pray.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“Whoever loves his brother lives in the light…”
(1 John 2:10)

It’s not that loving one of Your children saves me, Jesus…

it’s that if I’m truly on my way to heaven
I’ll love my brothers and sisters in You

even those as deeply flawed
as am I.

With some, it’s easy.

With others, as with me,
it takes a heap of intent.

It helps to realize that more than a feeling.

love is treating others as You command.

Pray this Lazaroo with unfathomable joy:

“…God raised us up with Christ…”
(Ephesians 2:6)

That past tense language gets my attention, Jesus.

I know that because I’ve put my faith in You alone
one day I’ll be raised up to heaven.

But that’s future.

At least…
I’ve thought it is.

But You’re talking about it like it’s already done.

Of course, since You know the future
to You it’s a done deal.

But it’s more than that, isn’t it?

Even now
I’m alive in You.
