Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“…the Jews…drove us out …”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)

I love the Jews, Jesus.

Not as much as You do, because no one could.
But my love for Your chosen people is fierce and strong.

Still…there were times when You were so upset with them

that You threatened to wipe them off the face of the earth.
You didn’t…but You punished them severely.

I know You love me –

enough to do whatever it takes to turn me around

when I stray.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful faith:

“Go to the great city of Ninevah…”
(Jonah 3:2)

Those words sound familiar, Jesus.

Oh. Right:

You already said them to Jonah
after which, he ran the other way.

You had to stop him in his tracks
teach him a powerful lesson
turn him around.

How many times have You had to give me the same instructions, Father?

Thank You so much for Your incomprehensible patience!

‘cause I’m not on my second chance, Holy Spirit.

but somewhere in my second billionth.

Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“I struck all the work of your hands…”
(Haggai 2:17)

How could You, Jesus?

All that work done by Your people
ruined not by their enemies

but by their God.

Why?

Out of love.

You’ll do whatever’s necessary to get my attention and turn me around

before it’s too late.

The destruction of all my work is a small price to pay

for the salvation of my life.

It’s tough love, LORD!

But sometimes…
it’s the love I need.
