Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“We sent Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith…”
(1 Thessalonians 3:2)

I know it’s my responsibility to stay focused on You, Jesus

to grow in You and to please You
in everything I think, say and do.

But when You send someone along with the gift of encouragement –

someone themselves strong in You who models it for me –

that’s nothing less than fire in my heart
and wind beneath my wings!

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If you have any…compassion…”
(Philippians 2:1)

Some people don’t, Jesus –

at least not that I can tell.

Of course, maybe they have it, but I’m not seeing it.

I might be expecting them to show it in one way
while they’re showing it in another.

Maybe I have such a focused agenda, such strong opinions

that I’m totally blind
to the different expressions of compassion in others

…as they may be to mine.

But You see.

That’s all that matters.

Pray this Lazaroo in total honesty:

“See, the Lord is coming…”
(Jude 1:14)

Oh, Jesus…

that’s what I want to see!

You’ve told me to be ready.

And I am.
On my good days.

But it’s hard to stay ready for something that’s taking thousands of years.

Part of me reasons that the odds are not great
that I’ll be alive when You return.

But You’ve told me to watch for Your coming.

Okay. I will.

Help me stay believing, hoping, expectant

wide-eyed and focused.
