Pray this Lazaroo in utterly vulnerable trust:

“We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end. As has just been said: ‘Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.’”
(Hebrews 3:14-15)

I’m holding firmly to my original conviction about You, Jesus

because You’re holding firmly to me.

I do not share in You because I’m holding on.

I hold on because – by grace alone –

You’ve 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.
