Lazaroo – Monday, July 18, 2011
2 comments, Jul 18, 2011
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with all your heart, soul, mind and strength:
“I am so eager to preach the gospel…”
(Romans 1:15)
That’s who I want to be, Jesus!
I don’t want to be a reluctant witness.
I never want to be ashamed to tell people about You.
I don’t want to share Your good news out of obligation –
though because of all You’ve done for me
and because heaven and hell hang in the balance –
I am obligated.
I don’t want to work Your name into conversations
because some preacher or Christian author told me I should.
I don’t want to flush with embarrassment
when I admit
that I worship extravagantly during church services
serve in a ministry
read Your Word every day
tithe on every dollar I make
pray over everything
refuse any activity that might displease You.
I want to be exactly like Paul in this:
bursting with passionate excitement
to tell one more person about You.
