Pray this Lazaroo in ardent love:

“’The Lord bless him!’ Naomi said to her daughter-in-law. ‘He has not stopped showing his kindness to the living and the dead.’”
(Ruth 2:20)

No, You haven’t, Jesus –

nor will You ever!

Because the so-called righteous “dead”
are alive in heaven with You!

What a thrill it will be for me one day in heaven

when I am by Your side
looking down in grateful amazement
on the unending stream of blessings
You are showering on those I love.

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“If we died with him, we will also live with him…”
(2 Timothy 2:11)

Because of the cross, Jesus

I believe You paid for the sins of my past.
I’m looking forward to living with You in heaven.

But that phrase, “died with him” gives me pause.

“With” You.

Wow.

You mean…right there?

It sounds like You want me to envision

hanging on the cross with You
until, as death to sin engulfs me I cry:

“It is finished!”

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“This man was handed over to you by God’s set purpose…”
(Acts 2:23)

Peter preaching on the Day of Pentecost, Jesus –

proclaiming to His fellow Jews:

that at their unbelieving hands
Your Father deliberately sacrificed You on the cross

in order to pay for their sins
and give them eternal life in heaven.

You did the same for me, Father!

You gave Your only Son to die
so that I might live.

May I do so!
Only for You.

Pray this Lazaroo with bated breath:

“…the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones…”
(Jude 1:14)

That’s a lot of holy ones, Jesus!

What a Day that’ll be.
Wrongs finally made right.

Angels? Yes, Sure.

But not only angels.

Those of us who’ve followed You, died and gone to heaven

will be coming with You and the angels, too.

But people like me? Holy?

Maybe not now, here on earth.
But in heaven, they’ll be like You.

And so will I.

Pray this Lazaroo with undying love:

“Is Israel a servant, a slave by birth?”
(Jeremiah 2:14)

Well…yes and no, Jesus.

Certainly, Your people are called to serve You
urged to serve one another.

But not in this sense.

You’re reminding us that we’re royalty
destined to rule and reign with You!

Of course, those of us who regard ourselves as Your slaves

waiting on You hand and foot
sensitive to Your every whim

are the ones in heaven
who will be the greatest of all.

Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“What then do I gain by being wise?”
(Ecclesiastes 2:15)

 Solomon was awfully wise, Jesus.

Your gift to him.

But that question wasn’t one of his wisest.

He was limiting his research to what he could observe
under the sun.

Admittedly, that’s all he could see

but it wasn’t all there is.

The greatest gain of all is doing what You tell me to do

whether it pays off on this earth or not.

Because in heaven

it will.
