Lazaroo – Saturday, May 19, 2012
No comments, May 19, 2012
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in baffled gratitude:
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
(1 John 1:9)
Even now, Jesus, this feels too good to be true.
From the moment I said “Yes!” to You
I was in.
But for all my good intentions
You knew even after I trusted You as my Savior…
I’d blow it –
not once
not twice
but over and over and over again.
You deserve so much better than that, Jesus!
When I let You down
the guilt eats me alive.
You knew that would happen, too.
You knew the harm it would do to our relationship.
So you fixed it.
All I have to do is sincerely ask Your forgiveness for what I’ve done
and You erase it.
Instantly.
Spotless record.
Pure as the driven snow.
As though it never happened.
O God.
Thank You!
