Lazaroo – Saturday, December 19, 2009
2 comments, Dec 19, 2009
Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo out loud:
“We also know that law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious…”
(1 Timothy 1:9)
I needed this reminder, Jesus.
If I’m sold out to You
If I’ve surrendered my will to Yours
If I’m following You with all my heart
no one has to pass a law to get me to do the right thing.
No one has to threaten to
punish me
fine me
jail me
execute me
to keep me from doing the wrong thing.
I will do what’s right
because I long to please You.
I will refuse to do what’s wrong
because I can’t bear the idea of disappointing You.
You don’t want to make me obey You.
You don’t want me to obey You because I’m afraid of You.
You want me to obey You
because I love You.
