Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know.”
(1 Thessalonians 3:4)

That’s not true only of Paul, is it, Jesus?

If I remain faithfully obedient to You
trials are bound to come.

Since I follow in Your footsteps
they are my destiny.

But that’s all right!

I count myself blessed
to suffer for You.

And this I know:

You’ve promised me eternal rewards
that will make it all worth it.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed determination:

“…I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions…”
(Colossians 1:24)

This has to be one of the most baffling statements Paul ever made, Jesus.

You paid it all!

No matter how much I suffer for You

Your horrific sacrifice on the cross
stands as payment in full for my salvation.

No one else could do it.
Nothing else is required.

But Paul was saying there’s a whole lot of sacrificing that must be done

so others will know.
