Lazaroo – Thursday, March 29, 2012
No comments, Mar 29, 2012
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with fierce determination:
“I will accept no offering from your hands.”
(Malachi 1:10)
I never want to sink to that place in my relationship with You, Jesus!
To think the day would ever come when I could
donate any amount of money to Your Church
serve the poorest of the poor
help the weak and needy
study my Bible for hours each day
pray all night long
minister to orphans and widows
preach Your gospel to thousands
martyr myself for a holy cause
and have You ignore every bit of it?!!!
How could that possibly happen to me?
You wouldn’t write me off like that because of a single slip-up.
You wouldn’t because of a million slip-ups.
You know what I am:
dust.
No, if You ever disowned me, it wouldn’t be because of my shortcomings and countless failures.
It would be because I…
had disowned You.
