I have decided that too much of my life is consumed with ME. A song I used to sing when I was little says: "He's still working on me, to make me what I ought to be, He is still working on me."

In a rut routine
Today God popped something in my lap that I had not even considered until I began to let it sit in me for awhile. God reminded me of Lazaurus in the bible. He was very close to Jesus and he died, Lazaurus sister was questioning why jesus didn't come sooner to heal him. The only time in scripture that jesus cries is when Lazaurus dies. It is puzzling to me why this time, why this man. He must have been important to jesus. The part the God was telling me was leaving dead things behind but to rise up in what I want for you. After lazauras had been dead for a couple of days then Jesus raises him up. Imagine how that must have been for Lazaurus. It makes you think was Lazaurus differnt physically after that. of course mentally and emotionally he was different. I like to think that dead things stayed with the tomb Lazuarus came out of and a whole new perspective and change came when Jesus called him out by name. Even in the rut routine I find myself spinning in some days, I can hear God calling my name, "Come out, Come out!" Let those dead things in your life stay dead, let God call you out that thing that feels like it's hanging on for dear life. Let Him call you to new life.
