Lazaroo – Monday, April 12, 2010
No comments, Apr 12, 2010
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with all the faith God has given you:
“I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.”
(Romans 1:8)
My faith isn’t reported around the world, Jesus…
but if they knew the dark crevices of my mind
if my sins, weaknesses and shortcomings were on display for all to see
if my friends and family knew
how unworthy I am of their support, loyalty and respect
if my enemies who judge me harshly knew
how much worse I am than even they suspect
everyone would stand in awe
of the love, mercy and forgiveness
You have lavished on the likes of me.
They would be amazed
that You would stoop down
and plant in my unworthy heart
this tiny mustard seed of simple, childlike faith
that sustains me through my darkest hours.
Perhaps then Your faith in me would be reported all over the world.
