Category Archives: last thing I want

beautiful spirit, Boaz, don't want to be repaid, for what I've done, for what you've done, I need forgiveness, I want forgiveness, it was a blessing, Jesus on the cross, Jesus purchased for me, last thing I want, Lazaroo, meant it as a blessing, mother-in-law, on the cross, repay me, repay you, Ruth, the wrong I've done, want to hear, what I've done, what you've done, when I've sinned

Pray this Lazaroo from the grateful depths of your soul:

“May the LORD repay you for what you have done.”
(Ruth 2:12)

That statement is a double-edged sword, isn’t it, Jesus?

Boaz meant it as a blessing – and it was!
You did, in fact, repay Ruth’s beautiful spirit toward her mother-in-law.

But when I’ve sinned, that’s the last thing I want to hear!

I don’t want to be repaid for the wrong I’ve done.

I want forgiveness!

Let me rephrase that:

I need forgiveness!

And that’s what You purchased for me on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“…before the fierce anger of the LORD comes upon you…”
(Zephaniah 2:2)

That’s the last thing I want, Jesus!

I know You’re unimaginably longsuffering.
I know You’re loving, merciful and kind.
You’re unbelievably patient with me.

But there’s a line, isn’t there?

One I’d better never cross.

The thing is, I can’t see it, can’t tell when I’m close.

So I’d better turn around now

change whatever I know needs to be corrected
while I still can.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“The Sovereign LORD has spoken – who can but prophesy?”
(Amos 3:8)

I agree, Jesus.

When I know the message is from You

how can I keep quiet?
how dare I keep my mouth shut?

But that’s the essential qualifier, isn’t it?

I have to know You’re the One who’s spoken.

The last thing I want to do is tell somebody something in Your Name

when You haven’t said it.

Misquoting anyone is dangerous.

But misquoting You
is the worst.
