Lazaroo – Sunday, April 15, 2012
No comments, Apr 15, 2012
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud…by faith:
“For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last…”
(Romans 1:17)
I keep forgetting this, Jesus.
Yes, I know my good deeds can’t save me.
Only by faith in You do I stand forgiven for my sins.
But I have trouble remembering that this new way of living is by faith
not only at the very beginning…
but all the way through to the end.
I keep trying to make it happen, produce results
but keep falling so short.
I know I’m supposed to give You my all
my very best
but I keep forgetting that the results
are solely in Your hands.
I can plant the seed
but only You can make it grow.
I can invite others to put their faith in You
but only You
can enable them to surrender their will
and say, “Yes.”
