I always get the Scriptures mixed up…

I always get the Scriptures mixed up…
My mind isn’t made for that kind of organization…
For me, things just come and go without effort and in no order…
Everything enjoyable and beautiful.

In particular that Scripture about Lazarus scares me to death…
At the first sight of him coming out of the tomb, I’d be long gone (creepy, creepy, creepy!)
I would never let that guy hold me…
Or give him a lick on the face.

I have to admit as far as miracles go, it’s a good one.

I believe everyone loves goodness…
But sometimes we can’t bear the goodness inside us…
We are too busy throwing insults at ourselves all day long…
Talking ourselves into defeat before we even begin.

Today, let’s stop that shadow moving across our minds…
Declare ourselves heroes…
Walk out of that moldy grave like Lazarus…
And come to grips with the fact that our spirits will live forever.

Then, everything will fall back in harmony…
Back to that sense of well-being…
It’s not just a crazy notion…
It is the truth…ask Lazarus.

I love you,

Annie
