Pray this Lazaroo with a heart sensitive to the needs of others:

“Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate. Your neck is like the tower of David, built with courses of stone; on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors.”
(Song of Songs 4:3-4)

I’m not sure those compliments would work today, Jesus

especially not the pomegranate and tower of David.

But it’s good to pay compliments, isn’t it?

Even when they miss
those who receive them
surely appreciate the attempt.

Pray this Lazaroo in unadulterated love:

“…they…flatter others for their own advantage.”
(Jude 1:16)

Pretty much everybody enjoys a compliment, Jesus

so long as it’s sincere
from the heart
no strings attached.

But nobody appreciates being insincerely buttered up

by a person who’s scheming
to get something from them in return.

I’m happy to be used to benefit others

but I despise being manipulated.

Help me be the kind of person

who wholeheartedly encourages others for their sake
without attempting to ingratiate myself with them.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…they…flatter others…”
(Jude 1:16)

Complimenting people is a good thing, Jesus.

We all need encouragement!

When someone does something good…when they give it all they’ve got

use me to give them an emotional boost, to lift their spirits!

But flattery isn’t that.

Flattery is insincere.

Flattery is buttering people up so they can be manipulated.

May I never, never, NEVER be guilty of that!

And when someone tries to use flattery on me

may I see straight through their duplicity.
