Pray this Lazaroo with bottomless trust:

“They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for. But you are a chosen people…”
(1 Peter 2:8-9)

I hardly know what to do with this, Jesus.

To think that some people are destined to reject You
seems so unfair.

But to think that You chose and destined me to accept You?
That’s awesome!

Bottom line?

I trust You!
Your ways are far superior to mine.

And I am beyond grateful

to be included in Your wholly undeserved, unfathomable love!

(Philemon 1:25)

Oh, Jesus.

Your grace.

Your loving, perfect, immeasurable

matchless grace.

Everything You’ve done for me in the past.

Everything You’ll do for me in the future.

My every sin forgiven.
Even the worst ones.

I’m Your heir!
All You have is mine.

Eternity with You in heaven –
forever and ever and ever, without end.

And all of it – absolutely all of it –

wholly undeserved.

Pray this Lazaroo in bursting-with-joy gratitude:

“The grace…”
(Philemon 1:25)

Your grace, Jesus!

What You did for us on the cross –

dying for sins You didn’t, wouldn’t, couldn’t commit.

The guiltiest among us freely pardoned –

going scot-free!

The exact opposite of justice.
Absolutely nothing fair about it.

G.R.A.C.E.: “God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense!”

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

I would never complain that I’m not getting what I deserve.

I don’t want what I deserve!

What I want is Your Total, Ineradicable, Undeserved, Unmerited

Matchless Grace!

Pray this Lazaroo in zealous love:

“…it is the gift of God…”
(Ephesians 2:8)

That’s what my salvation is, Jesus –

an undeserved, unmerited, outrageous gift.

The people I live and work with would all pitch in with a passionate

“Amen!”

As do I.

The thoughts with which I wrestle
the words that slip out

my countless inexcusable behaviors
the actions I should’ve taken but didn’t

testify that my home in heaven is a miscarriage of justice

and the highest proof
of Your costly, loving mercy.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed horror…and gratitude:

“…through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.”
(Colossians 1:20)

The peace with You I now enjoy wasn’t made at a conference table, Jesus.

It wasn’t agreed to with a handshake
wasn’t wordsmithed on a piece of paper.

It was paid in full by You

through Your excruciatingly painful

ugly
wholly undeserved
patently unfair
outrageously unjust
humiliating death

on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo in unchecked adoration:

“…the precious blood of Christ…”
(1 Peter 1:19)

Your blood is precious to me, Jesus

because it took the place of mine

because all of my blood
couldn’t have paid my sin-debt even as much

as one drop of Yours

because I fully deserve to bleed and die
for my inexcusable offenses against You

while You do not –
not for Your own –
and certainly not for mine.

May I never forget the price You paid

to save my soul.
