Pray this Lazaroo with renewed resolve:

“As you have heard…”
(2 John 1:6)

Why do I cringe when I hear those words, Jesus?

Probably because I realize
I’m about to be reminded.

Usually, the reason I’m being reminded

is I didn’t pay attention the first time.

Of course, I may have paid attention the first time

and didn’t want to do it

or had something else going on
I wanted to finish first.

Or maybe I just procrastinated.

Wow.

All that sounds pretty lame.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…who search for it more than for hidden treasure.”
(Job 3:21)

Because of His excruciating suffering, Jesus

Job longed for death.
He didn’t want to feel His overwhelming pain anymore.

If he had only known the reason for his agony –

that You were so proud of Him
that You bragged about him to Satan!

That You were about to take away his pain
and bless him beyond measure.

That was the treasure hidden from him.

What’s mine?

Pray this Lazaroo in growing understanding:

“The reason I wrote you…”
(2 Corinthians 2:9)

There’s always a reason, isn’t there, Jesus?

Every person who does anything has a reason.
They may not admit it to anyone – perhaps not even to themselves –

but they always have a reason.

Still, the reason I do what I do and they do what they do

is not the ultimate reason for everything that takes place.

You Are the Prime Mover.
You make it – or permit it to – happen

or it doesn’t.
