Lazaroo – Thursday, March 11, 2010
Mar 11, 2010 I Lazaroo.
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with deepest gratitude:
“We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us.”
(1 John 1:3)
I am so grateful, Jesus!
This closeness I feel with other believers
even those I meet for the first time
even those whose names I can’t remember
and especially those with whom I have
prayed
served
worshiped
witnessed
is not based on
wish so
think so
hope so
It’s grounded in Your love, forgiveness, mercy and goodness
that I myself have seen with my own eyes
that I myself have heard with my own ears
that I myself have experienced in my own life
and that Your followers here and around the world
have seen, heard and experienced for themselves, as well.
The fellowship, intimacy and camaraderie I experience with other believers is as
real
unshakable
indestructible
as the heaven we will one day share.
