Pray this Lazaroo with heartfelt anticipation:

“I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.”
(2 John 1:12)

Partial joy is good, Jesus.

It sure beats total sorrow!

Partial joys are little oases in the desert of life!

Thank You for every one You’ve given me.

But complete joy?

Whew! I was starting to think I’d have to wait till heaven for that one.

But if John can experience complete joy by visiting passionate believers

why can’t I?

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“What then do I gain by being wise?”
(Ecclesiastes 2:15)

We all want a payoff, Jesus

I’m no exception.

When we do the right thing

we want something good to happen…

to us.

But am I okay if doing the right thing blows up in my face

so long as it advances Your kingdom
and pleases You?

Am I okay if doing the right thing

doesn’t pay off till heaven?

If not

I’m not really doing the right thing.

 Pray this Lazaroo, trembling with emotion: 

“Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man.”
(Mark 1:41)

Oh, Jesus.

Your touch…

a handshake
Your arm draped around my shoulder

a fist bump
a high-five!

a bear hug that lifts me off my feet
…even to brush against You in passing.

What I wouldn’t give!

Will I have to wait till heaven?

Probably.

But until then…

You’ve touched me in so many other ways
that I know Your first physical touch

will be worth the wait.
