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 all your heart:

“…the LORD has a charge to bring against you…: ‘There is…no love…’”
(Hosea 4:1)

Of course, there’s love of a kind, Jesus…

just not true love.

We love things –

often, the wrong things.

We love what we can get out of people

instead of loving the people who give.

We say we love You

but words are cheap.

To love You means to obey You.

and that’s expensive!

Of course, it also pays off –

for those who have faith.

Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit passion:

“…love one another deeply, from the heart.”
(1 Peter 1:22)

This ain’t ordinary “luv,” is it, Jesus?

It’s not like, “I love mom’s potato salad”
“I love action movies and romantic comedies”
“I love the UK Wildcats…the Colts…Golden State Warriors…the Indiana Hoosiers”

It’s the love You showed me when You died on the cross for my sins

a love that will lay down my life for my friends

and for total strangers!
who don’t yet know You as Savior.
