Lazaroo – Friday, September 18, 2009
5 comments, Sep 18, 2009
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in openmouthed awe:
“As Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.”
(Mark 1:10)
I’ve seen people baptized before, Jesus.
But never like this.
I’ve witnessed more than one breathtaking view of the sky
But I’ve never – ever – seen the sky torn open.
Your invisible Presence is nothing short of amazing, Holy Spirit
But I’ve never seen You coming down from heaven like a dove in bodily form
and lighting on Someone
to show Your approval.
There’s so much more to You than I’ve ever seen!
I know I can’t handle all there is to see of You.
No one can.
If You showed me Your face, it would kill me.
Unlike Moses, I don’t even deserve to see Your back.
But I beg You –
Please.
Show up in my life!
