Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with an open mind and heart:

“I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning.”
(2 John 1:5)

What if John had written those words to me, Jesus?

What if a pastor had begun his message with them?

What if I had just purchased a new book only to discover that the author’s subject wasn’t about anything new

but something very old in Your Word
something I had already heard over and over again?

Would I be just as excited to

read John’s letter
hear our pastor’s sermon
read that author’s latest book?

Or in this environment of constantly evolving technology

have I been so conditioned to breathlessly await the

latest and greatest
new and “improved”

that I no longer allow myself to be thrilled

by Your eternal truths

that have stood the test of time?

Please show me.

Because John did write those words

to me.
