Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with intensely focused attention:

“If you had responded to my rebuke, I would have poured out my heart to you and made my thoughts known to you.”
(Proverbs 1:23)

That’s who I long to be, Jesus –

a responder.

When You have to correct me

I don’t want to mouth off to You
I don’t want to be one of those pouters, those sulkers

I don’t want to be one of those, “Yeah, but – ” types

who has an excuse ready for why I did what I did
or why I failed to do what I should have done.

I don’t want to be a casual responder either –

who gets back to You when it’s convenient.

I want to be an instant responder.

I want the first thing out of my mouth to be:

“You’re right.
I’m so sorry.

“With Your help
I’ll make this right if it kills me.”
