Aim higher, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone…”
(3 John 1:12)

That’s rare, Jesus.

Some people are highly regarded by most
but to have everyone singing their praises?

Even those who live with them
see them at their worst?

Amazing. Jaw dropping.
Almost unprecedented.

Not even You were well spoken of by everyone.

Because of Your power and purity
many hated You, rejected You
turned against You.

I’d like to be a Demetrius

but I’d rather be hated along with You.

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“That man is our close relative; he is one of our guardian-redeemers.”
(Ruth 2:20)

What an awesome gift You gave Your people, Jesus –

a guardian-redeemer

a close relative they could turn to for help –
someone willing and able to do extraordinary things
to rescue them from impossible circumstances.

You’re my guardian-redeemer!

With Your own life on the cross
You bought me back from the clutches of Satan.

I’m Yours for life!

There’s no one else
whose I’d rather be.
