Pray this Lazaroo in growing realization:

“Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them.”

(Zephaniah 1:18)

What a scary thought, Jesus!

to face the fact that I can’t buy my way out of punishment

that in order to change my fate

I’d actually have to become

a nice person.

How unfair!

I’ve tried, but I can’t.

Why…why…to become the person You’re calling me to be

I’d have to surrender myself totally to You

and follow You every step of the way.
