Pray this Lazaroo in ever-expanding faith:

“…his forces are beyond number…”
(Joel 2:11)

This fills me with joy, Jesus!

We humans have come up with some pretty big numbers –

not that any of us can really count that high!

But still, we know what they represent. They’re legit.

So, to try to grasp the size of Your forces

is impossible for my mind to conceive.

But it causes a great sense of comfort and protection and safety

to rise up within me.

In You
I’m safe.

Pray this Lazaroo in flabbergasted wonder:

“…he browses among the lilies.”
(Song of Songs 2:16)

Solomon’s bride is speaking poetically, Jesus.

Solomon isn’t browsing among actual lilies.
He’s making love to his wife.

Literal language has its place

but it can go only so far.

There are some experiences in life that require poetry.

One of the greatest of those is Your love for me!

When I try to grasp the significance
of how Your perfection can choose me
flaws and all

I go tilt.
