Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…it is defiled…”
(Micah 2:10)

Someone or something starts out fine, Jesus

and then it’s defiled.

A word or action displeasing to You is all it takes

for it to be defiled.

You give me specific instructions about life

that You intend for me to follow.

When I don’t do it the way You prescribe

I defile the very thing You’ve provided to be a blessing.

How foolish.
What a waste!

May I never, ever defile one of Your gifts!

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“…whatever they offer…is defiled.”
(Haggai 2:14)

So much for trying to buy You off, Jesus.

Gifts given to You are great
instantly becoming eternal heavenly treasure

when given in sincerity of heart
when given by people who trust You completely
when given by those who obey You wholeheartedly.

But when given as a show, as leverage for selfish gain

to placate You for deliberate, continuing, unrepentant sin
by those whose faith is mere pretense

whatever they offer is defiled.
