Pray this Lazaroo with God-given perspective:

“They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.”
(1 John 2:19)

This is a huge eye-opener, Jesus!

Sometimes I think people are my close friends.
When they suddenly drop me, I’m devastated.

But now I realize:

If they turn their backs on me and reject me
they never were my friends.

Pray this Lazaroo in crystal clear recognition:

“Are [the rich]…not the ones who are dragging you into court?”
(James 2:6)

What an eye-opener, Jesus.

How often do I disregard those willing to help
and fawn on those who care only about themselves?

I prefer to think the answer is: Never!

But it’s possible that I’m in denial.

This world praises many people undeserving of adulation

while looking down on those worthy of respect.

O God!

Help me rip from my eyes the blinders of this world!
