Pray this Lazaroo with every fiber of your being:

“…that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:14)

That’s wild, Jesus!

To share in Your glory?

How can human beings do that?

We absolutely don’t deserve it.
Not even the best of us.

Especially not the worst of us –
the category to which I belong.

But that’s Your love, Your outrageous kindness

Your overwhelming generosity!

Nor are we to keep Your glory to ourselves.

We’re to make sure others get in on it, too.

Pray this Lazaroo in baffled amazement:

“So the king of Israel set out with the king of Judah…”
(2 Kings 3:9)

Talk about being unequally yoked, Jesus…

the king of Judah was honoring You
the king of Israel was not.

Still, You worked stunning miracles and gave this flawed partnership victory against their enemies on that day.

Why? Because it further advanced Your Plan of the Ages.

You’ll work through the worst of us and the best of us, won’t You?

…along with everybody in-between.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…her paths [lead] to the spirts of the dead.”
(Proverbs 2:18)

You’re speaking of those who commit adultery, Jesus

who betray their marriage partners
in affairs and one night stands.

That choice leads to death of so many kinds, doesn’t it?

Death of trust, hopes, dreams
stability, innocence.

But having said that

I cannot begin to thank You enough
for the new life of Your mercy.

Even for the worst of us

You’re the God of the Second Chance.
