Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with pedal-to-the-metal commitment:

“What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth?”
(Mark 1:24)

Okay.

So the guy who asked You this question had an evil spirit.

Even so, it’s a great question:

What do You want with me, Jesus?

In fact, that’s not just a great question…

that’s the ultimate question.

Clearly, You’ve put me here for a purpose.

You do nothing by accident.
You waste no motion.

The very fact that I exist –

taking up space on this planet
leaving my oversized ecological footprint –

is irrefutable proof that You’ve got a plan for me

a job to do
an assignment to carry out.

To miss it would be to erase my life’s meaning

to reduce me to an object lesson –
a stark example of how to squander a life.

I don’t know how many people do that, Father…

but with Your help

I’m not going to be one of them.
