Pray this Lazaroo with humility:

“…who share in the heavenly calling…”
(Hebrews 3:1)

I’m not the only one going to heaven, Jesus.

Now, of course, I know that.

But I don’t always act like it.

Sometimes I look down on others.

I know.
You repeatedly warn me not to.

When I catch myself committing that inexcusable sin

I’m horrified.

Who do I think I am?

I get distracted by the sins they’re committing
the foolish things they’re doing

and forget that I’ve done far worse.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“They are…unfit…”
(Titus 1:16)

My first glance at these unfit people

tempts me to look down on them, Jesus.

Until it hits me: “Unfit?”

So am I.

I’m unfit to receive Your salvation

unfit to be given this much
unfit to be so blessed by You
unfit to be the bearer of Your good news.

And yet

all of these – and so much more! –
are mine.

How dare I look down on anybody?

when I’m the one
who’s unfit.
