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 sold-out surrender:

“And we have the word of the prophets…a light shining in a dark place…”
(2 Peter 1:19)

The world started out dark, Jesus, until You said –

“’Let there be light,’
and there was light.”

But all too soon, we bought into Satan’s lies

and the world plunged into a gloom far worse:
spiritual darkness.

So You gave us prophets –

ordinary people whose mouths You filled with Light –

to tide us over until You arrived in Person:

the Ultimate Light.

Pray this Lazaroo in awe:

“…light is better than darkness.”
(Ecclesiastes 2:13)

Yes it is, Jesus…

when I long to see
when I want to stay safe
when I hope to understand
when I need to keep from falling.

But darkness also has its merits.

You didn’t say darkness isn’t good.
You made it, too.

Darkness is good for sleeping

enjoying candlelight
watching movies
seeing stars.

It’s also good for hiding things

temporarily

until the day comes

when You turn on the light.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter gratitude:

“…who claims to be in the light…”
(1 John 2:9)

That’s quite a claim, Jesus.

You’re the Giver of Light.

If I claim to be in the light

in reality I’m saying nothing about myself
and everything about You.

You grant light to people who know they’re sinners

are willing to admit it

and – believing in Your death, burial and resurrection –

trust You alone as their only hope.

Thanks to You, that’s me, Father.

May I ever reflect Your Light.
