Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in dumfounded gratitude:

“God, who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me…”
(Galatians 1:15-16)

I go tilt with this one, Jesus.

You chose me to be Yours –

and set me apart from birth?

Why me?

You knew what my shortcomings would be
the grievous mistakes I would make
the countless sins I would commit
the enormous messes I would create.

Knowing all that…

You still chose me?
You set me apart from birth?

You’re my sculptor.

While I was still in my mother’s womb
You could have made me into anything.

You could have shaped me into one of Your enemies
instead of one of Your friends.

But I keep forgetting.

This isn’t about me, is it?

It’s about You –

and the fact that beyond all reason

You decided a long time ago

to be unimaginably good

to me.
