Pray this Lazaroo with wholehearted dedication:

“I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.”
(1 John 2:26)

It’s hard to believe there are people like that, Jesus!

I don’t get it.

Why would anyone want to lead me astray?

Oh.

They’re being influenced by Satan, aren’t they?

He’s at war with You.
He hates that I belong to You.

So he’s doing everything in his power
to turn me toward him and away from You.

But he’s wasting his time.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“…whoever hates his brother…does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.”
(1 John 2:11)

It’s the pitch black darkness of hate that blinds them, Jesus!

The non-haters can see clearly what’s happening
but the hater doesn’t have a clue.

The hater believes he is fully justified to despise everything about the person he hates

unable to see the myriad of good qualities You’ve built into them.

Fill me with love, LORD!
Open my eyes.

Let the Light dawn, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…whoever hates his brother…walks around in the darkness…”
(1 John 2:11)

It’s bad enough to hate my brother or sister in You, Jesus

and be stuck in the darkness.

But You’re telling me it doesn’t stop there, Holy Spirit.

You’re explaining that to hate one of Your children –

no matter how weak or obnoxious

is to try to navigate the darkness

without a light.

There’s a whole lot of stumbling, falling, disappointment and pain.

That certainly explains a lot.

Pray this Lazaroo with concern:

“…whoever hates his brother is in the darkness…”
(1 John 2:11)

Sometimes I become so upset at what someone has said or done, Jesus

that I come dangerously close to hating them for it.

Not good. So I call it by a different name:

I say I “dislike” them
I “can’t stand” them
I “want nothing to do” with them.

Maybe that’s all it is.

But maybe it isn’t

which may explain some of this darkness I now battle.
