Lazaroo – Monday, October 10, 2011
No comments, Oct 10, 2011
Allow yourself to become overwhelmed with gratitude, as you pray aloud the words of this Lazaroo:
“The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.”
(1 Timothy 1:14)
The only way I was able to trust You as my Savior, Jesus…
was for You to give me a priceless gift:
the gift of faith.
Without that, there’s no way I could have made the leap.
I’ve watched You give that same gift of faith to
average people
brilliant people
the mentally-challenged
old people
children
the middle-aged.
But I’ve also seen
average, brilliant, mentally-challenged
old, young and middle-aged people
totally unable to trust You as their Savior.
Why?
No gift of faith.
Now You’re showing me something more:
Not only did You grant me enough faith
to become Your follower
but when You entered my life
You brought along with You
enough faith for me to follow You
all the way.
