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.
