Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…they…flatter others…”
(Jude 1:16)

Complimenting people is a good thing, Jesus.

We all need encouragement!

When someone does something good…when they give it all they’ve got

use me to give them an emotional boost, to lift their spirits!

But flattery isn’t that.

Flattery is insincere.

Flattery is buttering people up so they can be manipulated.

May I never, never, NEVER be guilty of that!

And when someone tries to use flattery on me

may I see straight through their duplicity.

Pray this Lazaroo in mind-blown gratitude:

“…everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
(Acts 2:21)

Is there any greater promise, Jesus?

I don’t think so.

It’s no surprise that the best of the best get to go to heaven.

But that word “everyone”
includes the likes of sloppy, mistaken-ridden
totally undeserving

me.

No, this promise doesn’t apply if I call on You insincerely.

I’ve got to call on You wholeheartedly
repeatedly giving You everything I’ve got

while still falling short.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other…”
(1 Peter 1:22)

Okay. Let me see if I’m able to put this together, Jesus:

Obeying Your Word purifies me.
Once purified, I’m able to sincerely love other believers.

Of course, the absence of any of those steps leaves me short.

If I don’t obey Your Word, I’m not pure.
If I’m not pure, I can’t love others – at least…

not sincerely.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“…whatever they offer…is defiled.”
(Haggai 2:14)

So much for trying to buy You off, Jesus.

Gifts given to You are great
instantly becoming eternal heavenly treasure

when given in sincerity of heart
when given by people who trust You completely
when given by those who obey You wholeheartedly.

But when given as a show, as leverage for selfish gain

to placate You for deliberate, continuing, unrepentant sin
by those whose faith is mere pretense

whatever they offer is defiled.
