Pray this Lazaroo with profound gratitude:

“Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.”
(Song of Songs 3:5)

It sounds like Solomon’s wife may have learned the hard way, Jesus:

Don’t force it.

Or even better:

You can’t force it!

True love is a choice.

Which is why I’m thrilled to realize:

You chose to love me!

which is why with all my heart:

I choose to love You!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“‘…shudder with great horror,’ declares the LORD.”
(Jeremiah 2:12)

That gives me away, doesn’t it, Jesus?

The things that horrify me.
The things that don’t.

Just as does what thrills me

and what doesn’t.

Am I horrified by sin?

Mine and those of others?

Am I thrilled by righteous acts?

Enough to celebrate with those who do them?
Enough to carry them out myself?

My emotions reveal who I am, don’t they, Father?

Please, Holy Spirit…

rise up within me!
