Pray this Lazaroo in holy recognition:

“…the Jews…killed…the prophets…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)

Yes, they did, Jesus.

When You sent Your prophets to correct Your people’s sins
they were seldom received with open arms –

all too often, with hatred, threats, beatings, imprisonment

…and stones.

But Jews are not the only people who shoot the messenger.

It’s hard to be confronted with my wrongdoing.
I want to lash out at the person who’s in my face

until I drop my pretense and acknowledge:

You’re the One who sent them.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Once you were…enemies in your minds…”
(Colossians 1:21)

It’s true, Jesus.

There was a time when I was Your enemy.
I wanted my own way, not Yours.

So You allowed me to discover the hard way –

though not as hard as it could have been! –

that my way had a few holes in it.
Okay. More like Swiss cheese.

The thing that stuns and melts me

is the way You welcome me with open arms
the moment I repent.
