Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…this is not your resting place…”
(Micah 2:10)

Thanks for the reminder, Jesus.

This world is not my home.

You’ve placed me here for a purpose.

I can ignore it, reject it, do some of it
or give everything I’ve got –

in Your wisdom and strength
and with Your awesome blessing and favor

to fulfill it.

But regardless, when my turn is up

You’ll take me out.

The closer I get to my exit

the more I’m determined

to get ‘er done.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble gratitude:

“…a foreigner…”
(Ruth 2:10)

Ruth isn’t the only one, Jesus.

I, too, am a foreigner.

This world is not my home!

Just about the time I forget that
behaving as though this world is it

You allow it
to rear its perverse, unfair, twisted head.

In deepest gratitude I lift my eyes back to You

my longing for heaven increased…doubled…tripled.

Only with You will I finally be at home.
Only with You will I know lasting rest, happiness, peace.

Consider carefully, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Do not love…anything in the world.”
(1 John 2:15)

That’s…a strong command, Jesus.

But obviously, it’s one I need
or You wouldn’t have given it.

Sometimes I become so enamored with one of Your gifts

that I become attached to it
think I’ve gotta have it
gotta keep it.

Wrong.

I’m going to have to say goodbye

to everything I wear, drive, live in,
use, eat, enjoy, hear or see.

This world is not my home.

I’m just passing through.
