Pray this Lazaroo in everlasting gratitude:

“…he will be forgiven.”
(Leviticus 4:26)

Are there any sweeter words in any language, Jesus?

Maybe…but not many.

I know my sins.

Not all of them, certainly.
There are too many to keep count.

But some of those I do remember haunt me.

I wish I had never committed them.
In fact, I can’t think of a single sin I don’t regret.

But O Jesus!

I’m stunned!

Because of my faith in You
You’ve forgiven all my sins!

Forever!

Pray this Lazaroo in trusting awareness:

“…our vineyards that are in bloom.”
(Song of Songs 2:15)

There are seasons when my vineyards are in bloom, Jesus.

Well, some of them. Not all of them.

Don’t let me become so depressed over those not blooming
that I fail to rejoice over those that are.

Of course, there are other seasons when none of my vineyards is in bloom.

But Your Word specifies “our” vineyards, not “my.”
May I always rejoice over the blooming vineyards of others!.

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.
