Pray this Lazaroo with passionate gratitude:

“My loved one had a vineyard on a fertile hillside. He dug it up and cleared it of stones and planted it with the choicest vines. He built a watchtower in it and cut out a winepress as well. Then he looked for a crop of good grapes, but it yielded only bad fruit.”
(Isaiah 5:1-2)

That’s how beautifully You’ve treated me, Jesus

and how horribly I’ve treated You.

Please forgive me!

I desperately want You to receive full value
for Your loving investment in me!

Cling to the promise of God, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob…though destroyers…have ruined their vines.”
(Nahum 2:3)

It takes years for a grapevine to mature to the point where it produces truly great grapes, Jesus.

The grape grower invests hours in pruning and training the vine
so it pours all its lifeforce into creating great-tasting grapes
rather than growing big and bushy with stems and leaves.

O God!

Is that what You’re doing with me?

Please.
Whatever it takes.
Restore my splendor.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“…the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.”
(Song of Songs 2:13)

That is so, so, so like You, Jesus!

A lot of us don’t much care for vines.

They wrap around trees and other desirables

choking the life out of our preferred plants
unless we keep the vines chopped out.

So what do You do?

You give the vines flowers.

To top it off

You give the flowers fragrance

reminding me that even the things I hate

come from You.
