Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with an attentive heart: 

“Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one…”
(1 John 2:7)

We don’t much care for the word, “old” anymore, Jesus

except in things like wine and antiques.

We want everything new.

If it breaks, we’d rather not fix it.
It was old anyway.
Get a new one.

Sometimes that makes sense.

Sometimes new is better.
Sometimes old needs to go bye-bye.

But not always.

Sometimes what’s old is

proven
solid
reliable
safer
tested
wiser

beautiful

Please grant me the spiritual discernment to know

when to hold onto the old
and when to let it go.
