Lazaroo – Thursday, March 24, 2011
Mar 24, 2011 I Lazaroo.
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in the sweet peace of total surrender:
“…we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours…”
(2 Thessalonians 1:11)
I’ve got a lot of dreams, Jesus.
You’ve put in my heart some thoughts
hopes
plans
ideas
some fleeting, but persistent
others half-baked, simmering
still others fully formed.
When I contemplate what it would be like to realize them
my heart beats faster
my eyes brighten
I’m flooded with hope
I discover new reservoirs of energy
I’m able to put up with some of the junk of the now.
That is…
I think they’re from You.
But I don’t know –
not for sure –
“The man who thinks he knows something
does not yet know as he ought to know.”
So please:
Take these dreams…
and fulfill only the ones
that are truly from You.
