Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with unbudging, bulldog faith:

“Even if I thought there was still hope for me – ”
(Ruth 1:12)

Oh, Jesus.

May these words of this Godly but discouraged old woman

never find themselves on my lips.

May I never look at my circumstances

and gauge what I can or cannot do.

May I never look in my mirror

take stock of the deeply flawed thing looking back at me
shake my head in defeat
and give up.

So long as I have You

my impossible circumstances
are nothing more than a delicious setup
for the shocking display of Your majesty, mercy and might!

So long as I have You

my sinful past
my long list of mistakes
my numerous and glaring inadequacies

will simply insure that all the glory for all the victories You are about to give me

go to You.

So long as I have You

I have hope.
