Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.’”
(Galatians 3:13)

You loved us that much, Jesus!

You love me that much.

Me.

Totally unworthy, sin-plagued, mistake-ridden me.

Incomprehensible.

At my best, I’m barely tolerable.
At my worst, I’m unlovable.

I’m at my best so seldom.
I’m at my worst too often.

And still, You love me!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“At this, she bowed down with her face to the ground.”
(Ruth 2:10)

Not a bad response, Jesus

when once again
You show up in miraculous, life-changing power.

When I bow with my face to the ground

I’m acknowledging Your greatness
in contrast with my smallness.

I’m demonstrating how shocked I am

that You would love sinful, unworthy
inconsistent, falling-short me

this much!

I’m worshiping You with all my heart
declaring I’m unworthy to stand in Your Presence.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble, grateful trust:

“I am not writing you a new command…”
(2 John 1:5)

That’s a good thing, Jesus –

because I’m not yet following the old ones.

Well…

I am most of them
but not all.

Sometimes that depresses me.

I know that by now, I should be farther along.

After all, the standard isn’t anything less than full and complete obedience.

But to know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you love me anyway
means more than words can say.
