Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with renewed dedication:

“Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.”
(2 John 1:9)

It’s all about continuing, isn’t it, Jesus?

Not just starting.

Hey – starting is important!

I can’t continue
unless I start.

So starting is huge.

It takes enormous faith.
Courage.

To start, I have to throw caution to the winds.

I have to be willing to endure ridicule from my family and closest friends who were part of my old life.

When they see me declaring myself for You
they smirk knowingly and say,

“Yeah, right.”

They think they know the “real” me.

Of course, there’s a reason they’re betting against me:

They know how hard it will be for me to

“continue.”

So that’s my battle now.
One day at a time.

O God!

Help me continue.
