Face it…as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…all will be condemned who…have delighted in wickedness.”
(2 Thessalonians 2:12)

At its best, Jesus…

wickedness isn’t as good as advertised.

Fun? Yes, it can be.

Pleasure? For sure.

But it’s not quite all that.

So I have to hype and pretend
to make up for the oversell –

a glass of over-steeped iced tea
short six teaspoons of sugar.

But the worst part is how quickly it’s over

…when I’m left with the aftermath

…the emptiness

…and the consequences.

Pray this Lazaroo with Spirit-led vision:

“…my people have exchanged their Glory for worthless idols.”
(Jeremiah 2:11)

You are my Glory, Jesus.

Anything good in me
comes from You.

How could I ever exchange You

for that which brings

shame
disgrace
loss
failure
hatred
fear
anger
disappointment
emptiness
darkness
despair

hell?

The problem, of course, is that Satan doesn’t mention those things
when he tempts me to sell my priceless birthright

for that which glitters
but is not gold.

Open my eyes, LORD!

Open my eyes.
