Pray this Lazaroo with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”
(Matthew 3:9-10)

If I’m really Your child, Jesus

I’ll produce fruit.

Not just any fruit.
Good fruit.

The alternative…I don’t even want to think about.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: ‘You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.’”
(Matthew 3:6-8)

John the Baptist didn’t mince words, Jesus!

When all is said and done
more is said than done.

Words are cheap.

I’ve got to back mine up with action.

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed determination:

“They are…autumn trees, without fruit…”
(Jude 1:13)

Even if I love autumn, Jesus

may that never be said of me.

You’ve planted me for a purpose.

Ultimately, it’s not to look good, sporting lots of leaves.
That assignment has been given to shade trees.

I’m a fruit tree.
Fruit trees have one purpose:

Produce fruit.

May there be men, women, boys and girls who come to experience You in deep, daily, moment-by-moment, 1on1 relationship

because of You
in me.
