Lazaroo – Saturday, February 4, 2012
Feb 04, 2012 I Lazaroo.
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with a rush of renewed hope:
“For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed…”
(Romans 1:17)
That’s why Your gospel is “good news,” Jesus –
You’re not asking me to be good on my own.
I can’t.
Not that I haven’t tried.
I have tried, LORD – You know that! –
over and over and over again.
There were times when I thought I had this thing figured out.
But they didn’t last.
I ended up right back where I was before.
No…that’s not quite right.
Not as good as before.
Worse off.
That’s what repeated failure has done to me –
taken away my desire to try again.
But giving up isn’t an option!
If I do, it’s all over.
When I stare at that brick wall…
consider forever turning my back
on what I might have been…
something rises within me.
No.
Not “something.”
Someone.
You.
I’m not alone.
We can do this thing.
Together.
