Pray this Lazaroo with absolute sincerity:

“Rend your heart and not your garments.”
(Joel 2:13)

That had become the custom, hadn’t it, Jesus –

tearing their clothes upon hearing of something disastrous.

When that custom first began, it was no doubt powerful

because it came straight from the heart.

But over the years, people began doing it because it was expected

even when it didn’t truly touch their hearts.

O God! I know what You want!

Not merely my outward behavior.

In repentance…

You want my heart.

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“‘Even now,’ declares the Lord, ‘return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.’”
(Joel 2:12)

You’re saying it’s not too late, Jesus!

Not as long as I have breath in my lungs
and a heart open to You.

But I’ve got to I understand:

You’re not saying, “It’s never too late.”

Because for those who repeatedly reject You
allowing their hearts to become hard over the years?

The day of no return will come.
