Lazaroo – Tuesday, October 6, 2009

Oct 06, 2009 I Lazaroo.


Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with openhearted abandon:

“God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.”
(Philippians 1:8)

Paul loved other people…

…with the same degree of affection You feel for them, Jesus.

Wow.

This affection You have for Your kids is no wimpy thing.

It helps You look past my foolish mistakes and see my good intentions.

It makes it possible for You to love me on those days when I’m unlovable.

It causes You to forgive me when I knowingly sin against You.

It enables You to give me another chance

even when You know in advance I’m going to blow that chance, too.

It sent You to the cross

because that was my only hope.

I don’t know what You did to enable Paul to love others with that much affection.

But I’m trying to summon the courage to beg You:

Do it for me.

    I followed the original set of directions that were sent and responded to the acceptance link e-mail. I was getting Lazaroo until Saturday, 10-03-09. I tried to ‘re sign up’ via the Lazaroo site and the response I got was: “The publisher has deactivated subscriptions by e-mail.” I do not want this as an RSS feed, so what are my next steps, please. Thanks, dianne
