Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, allowing your heart to be flooded with inexpressible gratitude:

“Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.”
(Philemon 1:11)

I’m baffled, Jesus.

How do You pull this off?

Only You could figure out how to make the best thing for somebody else

be the best thing for me

every time.

But You don’t just do that for my best friend and me.

At the exact same moment You also do it

for the two of us and all our family members
for all our family members and all our acquaintances
for all our acquaintances…

and the rest of the world.

Every time You do what is best for me

it’s also the best thing that could happen
for every other person on the planet

past, present and future

and whatever You do for anyone else
is also what’s best for me.

In awe and worship…

I go tilt.
