Dare to believe God for great things, as you pray aloud the words of this Lazaroo:

“Who of you is left who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it not seem to you like nothing?”
(Haggai 2:3)

This is really tough, Jesus –

to look at a rundown house
and remember when it was beautiful and new

to watch a wrecker haul away the twisted metal of my car
and remember when I first drove it off the lot

to see someone’s haunted expression in a police mug shot
then compare it to their happy smile in a family photo

to hear somebody being praised for their achievement
and recall a time when I had the same opportunity

and threw it away.

It’s easy to give up on something that was once full of promise

because now it’s completely trashed.

But why would I do that?

People who’ve trashed their lives

are Your miracle-working specialty.
