Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“They are…unfit…”
(Titus 1:16)

My first glance at these unfit people

tempts me to look down on them, Jesus.

Until it hits me: “Unfit?”

So am I.

I’m unfit to receive Your salvation

unfit to be given this much
unfit to be so blessed by You
unfit to be the bearer of Your good news.

And yet

all of these – and so much more! –
are mine.

How dare I look down on anybody?

when I’m the one
who’s unfit.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.”
(Luke 1:41)

…which is what I long to be, Jesus!

…though it’s the last thing I deserve.

No matter how hard I try to clean up my act

I’m still a dirty vessel
so flawed, so prone to sin.

But if You waited for a perfect person

no one would ever be filled with the Spirit!

I’m not fit

but You’re the one who can fit the least likely
to Your purposes.
