Lazaroo – Tuesday, June 16, 2009
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with bottomless trust:
“To God’s elect…who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father.” (1 Peter 1:1-2)
You knew me, Father.
Before my parents conceived me.
Before I drew my first breath.
Before I sinned my first sin.
Before every sin I’ve sinned since.
And still You chose me.
Me!
With all my flaws.
With all my issues.
With all my shortcomings.
In spite of all my failures.
In spite of all my blunders.
In spite of my ugly depravity.
Why?
…knowing me as You do.
There’s just one reason that makes any sense at all, Jesus.
You really
really
reallly
really
Love me.
