Lazaroo – Tuesday, July 23, 2013

No comments, Jul 23, 2013

 

Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in deepest gratitude:

“Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.”
(1 Corinthians 1:26)

Count me in that number, Jesus.

When You called me

I wasn’t wise –
not by Your standards.

I wasn’t influential.
I wasn’t born to royalty.

When You called me…

I really, really needed You.

I didn’t know how much at the time

but it’s becoming clearer now.

Sometimes I get discouraged by how far I yet have to go.

I’m not the Christian you deserve me to be.

Sometimes…

I’m not even a nice person.

Maybe that’s why You tell me to remember the condition I was in when You called me.

No, I’m not what I ought to be
I’m not – by Your grace – what I will be

but thank God!

I’m not what I was.
