Lazaroo – Tuesday, September 13, 2011

Allow your heart to melt with gratitude, as you pray aloud the words of this Lazaroo:

“So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them.”
(Exodus 2:25

I love knowing this about You, Jesus –

that You care for me
that You’re truly concerned about me.

Most of the people in the world don’t even know I exist.

Of those who do know my name…

most of them are too wrapped up in their own world
to have any time or energy left to worry about me.

Even those closest to me aren’t always able to show their concern.

Their plates are full.

Besides, they don’t know everything I’m going through.

How could they?

Only You know every single

pain I feel
weight I carry
trouble that upsets me
personal hurt I’m enduring
fear that haunts me.

It would be easy to think I’m all alone in my private struggles

except for the fact that You’ve just reminded me…

I’m not.

    Pastor Steve, you have really been hitting the nail on the head lately because of what I am going thru right now. With Bill so gravely ill, my partner for over 51 yrs is going to be with the Lord very soon. People come to help me, the hospice nurses, my family, but they go home and only God knows what I am actually going thru. I don’t know what people do without the spirit of the Lord. Just feeling he is here with me. My health is not very good but me and Jesus will make it. I know I am not the only one suffering.
    I know your parents are really ill and you have your own personal life and the weight of the church and you are doing your best to do god’s will. I am certainly praying for you. Thanks for your efforts everyday for this Lazaroo You will never know till heaven how many lives you have touched in many ways. By the way….HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
    LOVE, Jeane Almon
