Submit yourself to your God, as you pray aloud the words of this Lazaroo:

“Stand up and say to them whatever I command you.“
(Jeremiah 1:17)

That “whatever” is huge, Jesus.

You’re not making a statement
giving me time to think about it
then asking me to pass it along

after I approve of its contents.

You’re asking me to sign a blank check.

You’ll fill in the amount…

later.

Well…

You’re not really “asking,” are You?

This is a command.

It has nothing to do with

whether or not I agree with the message
if I feel comfortable in sharing it
whether or not it makes me look good
if it’s compatible with my personality
if it fits nicely into my schedule.

I don’t get to mutter it either, do I?

I’ve got to “stand up” and say it –

clearly
uncompromisingly
unapologetically.

You’ve given Your all for me

You expect me to give no less for You.
