Lazaroo – Wednesday, December 1, 2010
No comments, Dec 01, 2010
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, from a heart molten with gratitude:
“The word of the LORD came to me again…”
(Jeremiah 1:13)
On some days…
this is what I love about You most, Jesus.
You’re the God of the Second Chance.
Not only do You tell me once
You tell me again.
Of course, sometimes You have to tell me again
because I didn’t hear You the first time.
Sometimes You have to tell me again
because I didn’t understand what You meant.
Sometimes You have to tell me again
because I forgot.
But the reason that absolutely blows me away
is when You have to tell me again
because I flat-out disobeyed You the first time.
I hate that reason.
I especially hate that You’ve had to tell me again for that reason
more than once.
But I absolutely love this proof that You love me enough
To tell me again
and again
and again.
