Lazaroo – Sunday, December 26, 2010
Dec 26, 2010 I Lazaroo.
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in holy defiance of the status quo:
“And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children…”
(Luke 1:17)
It hasn’t changed much in 2,000 years – has it, Jesus?
There are an awful lot of men who want the woman…
but not the child.
Some insist it’s biological –
that child-loving, child-rearing, child-developing
is woman’s work.
Huh-uh.
It’s Your work.
No one cares for me like You do –
and You’re my heavenly Father!
You define what it means to be a man –
not my self-absorbed
woman-abusing
child-ignoring
sin-sick culture.
Every child needs one man in his or her life
who gives a rip.
A man who cares what they do
and who they do it with.
You created each of us in Your Image –
including every man on this planet.
The right stuff is in us.
Please, God!
Bring it out.
