Lazaroo – Thursday, April 16, 2009
Apr 16, 2009 I Lazaroo.“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.”
(Jeremiah 1:5)
With this stark statement You declare Your ownership of me.
How can I dispute that, LORD?
You made me.
You’re my Designer, my Artist, my Inventor, my Poet, my Creator, my Manufacturer, my Musician, my Author, my Composer, my Master.
I’m Your design, Your artwork, Your invention, Your poetry, Your creation, Your product, Your instrument, Your book, Your symphony, Your servant.
Which means…
If You knew me before You made me…that means You knew exactly what You were getting. You knew who I would be…how I would think…where I would go…what I would do…
…and knowing all that You made me anyway.
O Jesus!
That means You want me.
I’m not here by accident.
I’m here by choice:
Yours.

WOW!! This is one of my favorites. I love it when I know beyond a shadow of doubt that someone loves me, and, this is not just someone, it is Someone. The fact that He knows everything that I have tried to hide from others and still loves me even more than the others is beyond any words that I know. Further, the fact that He chose a husband for me that loves me unconditionally is a miracle in itself. Thank you for helping me dig out the thoughts that may otherwise be buried.
