Lazaroo – Monday, April 26, 2010
No comments, Apr 26, 2010
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with sincere faith:
“The Lord’s message rang out from you…your faith in God has become known everywhere.”
(1 Thessalonians 1:8)
Oh, I want that, Jesus.
I want Your message to ring out from me –
clear, strong and bold as an old-fashioned church bell.
I would love for my faith in You to become known everywhere.
I long for people to watch my life from a distance – or up close –
and be inspired
to listen to my words when I’m witnessing – or when I’m relaxing –
and be encouraged
to be filled with hope
when You say yes to my prayers
to share my childlike trust
when Your answer is, “No.”
I don’t want my life to sound a single sour note.
But that’s what scares me.
I don’t have to tell You…
I’m not that good
I need Your indwelling help, Holy Spirit
to become the person
I desperately long to be.
