Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“But now he has reconciled you…”
(Colossians 1:22)

I see those words, Jesus

but I don’t understand them.

You’re perfect, sinless, pure, holy.

I’m the exact opposite.

How can the North and South poles be joined together?
How can east and west meet?

A miracle.
We’re talking a miracle.

But as impossible as my reconciliation to You seems

the fact that You would even want
to be reconciled to the likes of me

is the greatest miracle of all.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“The LORD is righteous…”
(Lamentations 1:18)

That’s what terrifies me about my relationship with You, Jesus!

You’re righteous
I’m not.

You’re holy.
I’m not.

You’re perfect.
I’m not.

You’re sinless.
I’m not.

If friendship is built on commonality, I’m as far away from You as the east is from the west

which…come to think of it…
is how far You’ve removed my sins from me.

So there’s only one prayer I dare pray, isn’t there?

Be Yourself in me.

 Allow gratitude to flood your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“…on Mount Zion will be deliverance; it will be holy…”
(Obadiah 1:17)

And so it was, Jesus –

the place where sacrifices for sins were made
the place Your people gathered to worship
the dwelling place of Your Presence

a deeply holy place –

as are the places where I’ve received Your deliverance.

They’ve become holy to me.

But of all those wonderful places

none are holier to me
than Mt. Calvary

where You won my eternal salvation

on the cross.

 Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“You can then take them up to Jerusalem.”
(2 Chronicles 2:16)

Hiram was talking about logs, Jesus

just logs.

So why take up space in Your eternal Word to tell me about logs?

Because when the logs are for You
they’re never “just logs.”

They become more.

Ennobled by their high and holy purpose
they themselves become holy.

That’s kinda nice to know

since I’m dedicating myself
my every ability
all I possess
all that I am

to You.
